One downside to this plant is that whilst collecting seeds, it made the fingers burn to the extent that the day after there was a blister ... therefore it would be very prudent to wear rubber gloves whilst seed collecting, and make sure children are aware of the danger this plant poses.

This apart, it is a very easy plant to look after, and it has a long flowering season from about January to June in south UK.

The seeds are ready mid June.
