Please name this plant
 

I have a perennial plant grown from seeds from HPS some time ago. It
looks delicate but is obviously tough as old boots. The leaves are a
bit like carrot top or a delivate fern but it grows vigorously. In the
past few weeks it has put on about two feet. It does have a flower but
it really is inconspicuous being very small, a little pod, mucky
yellow with a sort of grey splash on one side. Its popping up all
over the show but easy to pull out. The stems are fleshy. Most
peculiar that such a delicate looking thing should be so tough.
Foliage is palish green.

Just a guess, Cytisus.

No thank you, it isn't that. The flower is minute and only one
towards the bottom of the plant. Not a whole spray of flower like
those. Also, the foliage is more lacy. Thank you anyway.

No, it isn't that one Charlie, the foliage is more lacy and the
occasional one small flower is always near the bottom of the plant.
Not to worry.
