you folks knew of a voracious self seeder or a perennial?

Doesnąt have to be golden which is new to me as the "weed" was about

It self-seeds as a weed here. I leave some in the garden wherever it's
not in the way, and harvest it to mix in with stir-fries. I've been
tempted to get some of the ornamental kind with the big portulaca-like
blooms and seeing if that will naturalize.

The taste isn't bad, but it's nothing to write home about.
