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!

This seeds itself during the summer.

majeekahead

bought from T & M autumn 2007.

height 16-18" hardy annuall sow march to may outside, light well drained soil in full sun flowers throughout the summer.

i have bought these to fill any gaps at the front of the woodland bed, right hand bed and also the front garden.

15th march sown 1/2 the pack in the back garden along woodland and right hand beds, and a few in the front. i am saving the others for along the washing line area but it will need some digging over first!

majeekahead
