I've been calling it NOID common Denver purple because I see them all over the place and no one knows what it's called. It's a prolific multiplier and extremely easy to grow (I joke that one just needs to toss it on the ground, kick a little dirt over it and ignore it). It does not re-bloom but has many blossoms when it does, and blooms for a fairly long time in spring. It's about 18 - 20" tall when in bloom. It likes full sun and is very drought tolerant (a never water mine).
