That's right nut! You win
As it is food for butterflies I guess I'll leave it. There is a lot of it though, and it is self sown!
It does get a bit over-exited with seeding. It's a biennial so won't be invading by roots

You can see the eggs in one of the pics on this link, they lay them one at a time not in clusters like other butterflies, they eat each other if the get a chance
Guess that explains why I didn't see it last year then I do like the pretty white flowers though. Happy it's loved by butterflies.
