Yes I grew from seed too bought locally. I discovered that there are a lot of seeds in a packet. I've got at least 4 patches in different parts of the garden. The shadier places are not flowering yet.

thanks David, the colours in this pic were a pure fluke, don't ask my how it happened, maybe because i had the camera set on close up rather than auto, and the picture was taken at dusk. i really loved the way it came out even tho the flower is a much brighter yellow in reality i think this is an interesting effect and worth including!
