| Hi S, It looks like verbena hastata, but the flowers look shorter than normal. That might be because it is a new smaller plant. It is a native wild flower that attracts butterflies. It grows quite tall though. So if it is in the wrong spot, you can move it in the spring to a better location. Also, it can re-seed, but the seedlings are easy to remove if unwanted. Remy |
