Very architectural plant but don't let it seed around, that said they
are easy to remove anyway when small.


Thanks, it certainly is. I've read enough up now about the toxicity that
it's now in the rubbish bin in two plastic sacks

No reason to do that, so many of our garden plants are toxic anyway. Even
those beautiful Lilies are lethal to cats. Councils often use a plant in
their bedding displays that contains the most lethal poison of all.
If you have children it's better to teach them not to touch plants than pull
the plants up.
