May be Catment~ does it smell like mint? -
It is a type of wild fhlox and it is not a weed it is a wild flower -
I looked up wild phlox, and it doesn't appear to be that, although close! Seems to be in the mint family, but not catmint either. I'd crush a leaf, and if it smells like mint, there ya go! -
It does look like mint of some variety. It will grow wild and get out of hand. Marianne is right, crush a leaf to see. Let us know what it smells like! -
will crush on my return to Sparta..thanks y'all! -
We have it in our backyard in Mississippi, my husband kept trying to destroy it as a weed, so I dug it up and put it in a container... lol I found it on this website (but now can't remember the name): www.eattheweeds.com -
thanks Liz, i'm going to it!

Hee, hee! I have to laugh because it seems some pesty "weeds" turn out to be so pretty and healthy looking while our expensive "plants" struggle! Oh well. -
That does not look like a mint flower to me. But the leaf test is a good one. -
Those little purple flowers are so beautiful! -
Wild Verbena? It looks kind of like what we have on the road sides here in LA.
