I have so many different areas of my yard with this in it. Wish I knew what it was.

I agree, another variety of Salvia ... butterflies love it!

It looks more like Perovskia to me, but they are closely related.

I'm with Danita on this one. My first thought was salvia, but I don't think salvia has the long stamens stick out from the petals.
