Hello,

If you can spare a moment, could you look at this:

I have these growing up in my hedges, and I think they're awfully
pretty.  Can
you tell me anything about them?

Kind thanks!

Kerria. This is the double flowered one - there's a single flowered one
too.

You're right about it suckering. It's infesting my garden from a
neighbour's.

I've just googled for Bachelor's Button and find it's a cornflower.

Well, you learn something every day .......!

If you google for Kerria, you'll find that Batchelor's Button has been
applied to Kerria. I knew Batchelor's Button as a name for Feverfew
(Tanacetum parthenium).
