It's gone mental on the boat moorings and spread. Some came home with me and has got away in the garden . I'm planning a blitz on it . Very pretty but invasive.

now I have started looking for it, have noticed large areas of it by roadsides etc - we have a little dotted around here and there - but not on an invasive scale - so perhaps not the right conditions for it? sposed to be nice made into a pesto - but I don't have enough to try it

So, my plan on buying some for a small / medium garden might not be wise?

Oh don't go and buy any! If you want some..I can dig few up and get you started ....

If you are unsure....try them in good size container/planter at first..if you get flowers, chop them off so they don't seed all over the place.
Plants themselves are not big and in that wise they would be fine in smaller space. At least when they are in container...they 'should' not spread that easily...issue would be 'only' with seeding.
They would not need any fancy compost neither..just some garden soil and they would be happy..

How do you think they'd like a bright indoor windowsill?

No idea..worth of trying...there is many outdoor bulbs that are grown indoors. You might need to move them to 'rest' outdoors when they are dormant and bring them in again just as they start coming through again. So that they do experience the seasonal changes that tricker its growth cycle.
