    Hi everyone,
    I have a few pictures of a plant that has been growing in my garden forever. It is growing next to Lavender and I have no idea what it is...it could be a weed for all I know!!! It grows really well all year and even when I pull most of it out it grows back so well. It has small purple flowers and when I pull it out or touch it, it lets off the strongest citrus type smell. I'm thinking it's an ornametal plant?? Can someone help??
    Thanks...

    There are two different plants in that bundle - I don't know what the purple one is, but I'll bet you that the grasslike one is Lemongrass.

    From the shape of its flowers the purple appears to be a Salvia.
