OK your average gardener regards it as a weed, but I reckon it's beautiful
and wish to have a stand of the things in my garden. I saved some of the
seeds from last year, which are of the fluffy airborne variety, but my
standard technique of sticking them 1/4" down in compost in the greenhouse,
keeping it moist and praying has failed.
No seedlings, and it's been 6 weeks now. Any ideas?

never tried to grow them from seed bit tricky I would think, you are
right they are very pretty. Would it be possible to go out and get some
roots from where they are growing in the wild.

That's illegal, Kate! As to sowing the seed, I've never found it necessary.
Leave one plant and in no time you'll have a clump!
