    Hello
    I recently noticed this small plant in our new garden, and find myself admiring the attractive purple flowers. I'm wondering though if I should perhaps be removing it as a weed, or if I can just let it be and enjoy it instead?
    Thank you for any help in identifying this plant.

    It appears to be a salvia, and, generally speaking, "legitimate" plants. I have a heck of a time with salvias, and have a couple of unknowns myself, so it will be interesting to see what species the experts determine it to be.

    Thanks abgardeneer!
    I was hoping I could just leave this little plant to grow.
