Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Dec 4, 2011 3:57 PM concerning plant:

A compact annual or short-lived perennial that is native to Spain and the Pyrenees Mountains. This variety has been used extensively in floral gardens and has escaped from cultivation to roadsides, fields and waste areas throughout much of the United States. The blooms are deep purple and yellow, creating a solid carpet of color for weeks. Prefers partial shade to full sun in rich, well-drained soil.
