Hi,
This plant has appeared in my garden this year. I had never seen it before. Any ideas on what it could be?

Looks like a Lamium:
Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule)
Purple Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureum)

It reminds me of Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule)

That is purple dead nettle. It is a pot herb, high in vitamin c, along with many other things, add it to raw or cooked dishes. I would add a hyperlink, but I'm still too "new" on here Smiling . Search for "purple dead nettle medicinal". There is a good article on the healingweeds blogspot.

If they really are 2 different plants, somebody who knows how to sort them should sort the pics in those 2 database entries.

Alright, I see it is definitely a lamium. Tomorrow I will examine it closely to see which type it is.
Thank you all!

Are you planning to pull it up? (I would) If so, does it matter which Henbit? Rolling on the floor laughing

No hurry about removing the naturals...
While I'm not a particular fan of dead nettle or henbit, the butterflies are huge fans of these early bloomers...

Gotta encourage the pollinators... even if it means leaving a few weeds out there.
Please visit my garden!

Except on leaving exotics to "encourage pollinators".

Plant the things the pollinators evolved with, if you care about preserving the fauna of your neighborhood. Most anything else is just kidding yourself.

I always thought that henbit and dead nettle were naturals... Just now googled origin of each.... Europe and Asia.

Well, good thing that they seem limited to the vegetable patch.... Came with the horse poop...

Doubt that it's possible to eradicate them, but I do have huge piles of them plus chickweed... Can't turn them under, they keep growing... So... Pull and cover soil with fresh layer of poop... Then plant stuff.

So, what are your early butterflies visiting in ky, John?
