    Mr Kandy insisted in buying one of these last year becuase of the lovely flowers and it is in flower at this moment.I shall have to keep an eye on it if it is that invasive.:rolleyes: We also bought a few years ago a plant of Greater Celendine {Chelidonium majus} because of it's pretty double yellow flowers but are now trying to get rid of it or at least keep it in check because when the stems are bruised it leaks an orange sap which is caustic to the skin:rolleyes:
