What can you tell me about Poor man's weatherglass (Scarlet Pimpernel)? Will it become invasive? Does anyone have seeds for it?

Anagallis arvensis is a common European weed of cultivation. It is quite pretty but grows very low to the ground,has very small flowers (slightly smaller than my little finger nail) and will spread by seed and creeping. It is a frequent weed on my allotment.
