I have this plant growing on my fence. It is easy to contain and dies back every winter. It reseeds itself each year. I clean up any in unwanted areas as they sprout and am done with it. The flowers are tiny...thumbnail size. They are in clusters from 2 to 6 at a time. I love the purple on purple color. The butterflies like them and so do the bees and some birds. This plant is often passed up for the size of the flowers. I however find it very charming and unassuming.
