It looks like one of the annual summer bedding Verbena. I would never call something so beautiful a weed! http://www.acgnursery.com/images/verbena-mix.jpg
Thank you to you two. I called it a weed because it grows all by itself but I agree it's a very nice one ;-) Anyone know which species of Verbena this is as it seems this is no the officinale one which I could use as tea ?
Were you meaning the Lemon Verbena used for a herbal tea? That is not the same at all! That is Aloysia triphylla. http://images.google.com/images?hl=...q=aloysia triphylla&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_verbena Your plant is possibly Verbena x hybrida. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/annuals/verbena_xhybrida.html
