    I think it's a Scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis).

    Thank you. It's a beautiful little flower. Love the colour. Will it seed if I let it go to seed?

    Yes. It will seed around. In the U.K. it is concidered a weed, all be it a pretty one!

    Thank you, I think I'll try to let it seed. I believe I tried to grow these from packet seeds several years ago and nothing came of it, so this is a nice little prize.

    It's actually a native wildflower in the UK, but an invasive weed in North America

    This is picture of plant that I know is Anagallis arvensis; it does look similar.
