| It *kinda* reminds me of some wild Purple Dead Nettle I have growing all around... But, I am not so sure?

| It looks like ajuga retans, an invasive non-native. http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/plantfinder/Plant.asp?Code=U990 RW |

| I left out the p in reptans. Ajuga reptans. :o) RW |
|
| Yes, the photo shows Ajuga, which is pretty common in gardens, has been in gardens a long time, and persists in the wild for a long time. So even if you didn't plant it, it may be left over from some previous gardener or spread from a nearby garden. Not a native plant. |
