I'm just not willing to live without these little charmers in my garden somewhere; they pop up every spring here and there, in the vegetable garden, along the path, anywhere they please, really. Once called Ladies Delight, Bird's Eye-None-So-Pretty, and many more pet names, they bloom all season to fall freezes in cooler areas, only lagging during the hot summer days. Royal purple and violet small blooms.
