    Not invasive, quiet pretty and needs no care plus the bees love it.
    Not sure why we don't grow it as a garden plant. Seems ideal.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    There was some of this growing in the garden where I lived 16 years ago - several moves since then and seeds have produced new plants/seeds and still have some in the garden today - bees like it but it can get black/green fly at which point I remove the plant.



    The RHS list several suppliers - one

    I often encourage it as a plant as the bees love it
