Please can someone help to ID this plant? Sort of reminds me of dahlias with the foliage, but those lanterns and flowers... stuck!

Hmm, thanks. Is it a 'weed'?
Anyone else know the name?
Hi Littlefrog ... and welcome to A4A. I don't know what it's called but my lottie neighbour grows it and since he doesn't "do" weeds it can't be one!! ;D ;D It's very pretty. If I see him I'll ask him.

Hi grawc! Thanks for the welcome :) I was on here many moons ago, as commonclay, but lost the login details, it's been so long.
Thanks for the info. It's a pretty looking plant - all it needs now is a name!! :)

They are half hardy annuals.

I had some seeds a couple of years ago from someone here, they do get massive! I still have seedlings popping up from the first batch sown. Yes its a pity they dont shoo pigeons orf
