short and purple | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This is a 1-foot tall plant that has a profusion of purple flowers. I don’t think I planted it. Can someone tell me what it is?

Thank you both – that must be the plant! And now I’m hungry for chocolate chip cookies. Suzanne

Maybe a cultivar of bugle weed with small slender leaves (Ajuga)? Check out these include links for more information. Best wishes! Image link for a variety named ‘Chocolate Chip’. https://i0.wp.com/www.obsessiveneuroticgardener.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Picture-329.jpg
