I lurve this plant.
You only need to grow it once as it self seeds. Mine at the lottie has self seeded from one plant; and grows along the corners of the paths.
Mine at home [I have 2 at home] self seeded from a plant I gave to a pupil and he left his to set seed, and I found it growing next to his last year's corn bed; in amongst the grass so I dug 2 up and brought them home and they have been happily growing here since.
I add the leaves to salads and they are full of nutrients. They will grow all winter long and they come into their own in the spring.
If you have a tiny little space - I thoroughly recommend this beauty.
Here are some other photos
