It has done "very well" this year. I grow it in the front garden and I've been pulling out seedlings in the back garden by the handful

Thanks for the info peeps, I have now looked it up and it said one can eat the roots? Anyone tried eating them? 🤗

Weed?? I would love to have it in my garden. Like most wild flowers, one has to control like mad or they take over. Part of the fun though.

I've just removed the last of this year's plants after letting a couple go to seed to ensure more plants for next year
