Description:

These hollow-stemmed, reddish purple weeds pop up out of the lawn at an amazing rate. Fuzzy heart-shaped leaves. Small light purple flowers are tube-like with a mouth shaped opening. Shallow branching roots.
They pop out of the grass and hover at about 3-4 inches tall until they are cut again.
