Yes, I did, a couple of years ago. It was a self-seeded plant itself, given to me by a relative with the assurance that it would produce offspring of its own. I'd forgotten about this, and at the time I didn't really believe it. Lately I've been far more wildlife conscious, hence the concern Thanks for the reassurance
