Thanks.... :wave:  I googled the name and bang on....did a read up on it.   How it came to seed in our garden ???? but I aim to keep the seeds to grow more next year.

What a coincidence - this flower was planted in the park near my home last year and I wondered what it was! It's a member of the tobacco family I take it? It's lovely and the flowers last ages.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

They do seem to selfseed quite readily. I had one growing down the side passageway to our house (next door neighbour grows them in front garden). The seed travelled a long way as it was towards the back of the house and it's not like I've swept that recently!
gone to pot :D
