freely self-sowing ... will sprout up anywhere. I treat them as weeds when they come up in unwanted areas, they do have a tough root system. I grow them as a dryland annual and just let them compete with the other drylanders (california poppy, larkspur, and rose campion).

This is a "self-sowing" annual. Once established, it can become difficult to remove. Attractive, ferny foliage. When flowers fade, large, decorative seed pods form (can be dried and used for floral arrangements).
