Field Notes

Description:

It has a spreading habit, and grows to 60 centimetres (24 in), with stalkless, toothed leaves and bright purple or magenta, scented flowers in summer.

Habitat:

It is native to Brazil and Argentina, and is not fully hardy in temperate climates, where consequently it is grown from seed as an annual plant. It is widespread as a garden escapee in the Southeastern US.
