pretty neat right?... smells nice too.. I could be wrong but I believe it's a Chinese herb .. maybe a basil or perilla .. it came from Holly & Ric out in PA .. was growing on top of a huge canna she gave me.. so I just left them.. they popped up all over this year .. were easy to spot in spring with that purple leaf... so hardy though.. it was growing on the container I never dug up that had the canna in it.. I had a board covering 1/2 of it.. and had a Christmas Snoopy on top of it... it grew under and out the sides .. even covered up.. once I took the board off.. they all took off .. has a long skinny flower like perilla .. but I am not sure ... but I am guessing in the right environment.. and left to go to seed... this one could be really annoying.. I remember one I dug out and put in the garden by the driveway last year... had tons of seeds in that flower I guess.. I am guessing that's how they all seeded on the driveway
