          This might not be were it was planted originally as they self seed into nooks and crannies.

            I love this plant especially because the humming bird moth is a frequent visitor to it.
            Fantastic to watch it hovering and sipping nectar.

                Yes, horrible stuff.
                It sends its seeds from over the road into all the neighbouring gardens, and is so strong it will uproot tarmac & concrete, and is surprisingly hard to kill

                  I love how we're all different. I've been saving seedlings of both red and white varieties, from a garden I tend, in an effort to get it to grow in mine!

                      I don't have it in my garden (yet), but I've read that you should either grow the red one or the white one but not both, otherwise you soon end up with a load of washed-out pink ones that don't look as good as either parent.
