                No, I really mean it Woo, you can trust me to talk about gardening seriously, unlike some of the jokers on this thread... :whistle::biggrin:

                It's a great plant and probably in my Top 5 for butterflies both in terms of attracting many numbers and species diversity, but it's a bit too keen on self-seeding for my liking. I love the dwarf cultivar 'Lollipop', but unfortunately it won't come true from seed, only cuttings. :frown: Incidentally, since we're taking geography, "bonariensis" means "from Buenos Aires". :biggrin:

                    It's a perennial but quite a short-lived one, doesn't last long here in the Midlands, about 3-4 years but you might have slightly better luck with it in Kent. :)

                      I think I have made a mistake putting it in several large pots if I cut them down later on in the year I could replant them in my wildlife garden:smile:
