Weed or wild flower purple flowers

A nice shaped plant...weed or wild flower though? Found it growing by the wood pile. If weed I'll leave it. If wild flower I may transplant it.

Thanks so much! This weekend I am headed to a nursery that sells native plants. To plant my hillside next to our waterfall we put in. May have to transplant this one. It really is a good size and has a lot of blooms.

Glandularia is the accepted, Verbena is synonym. I would think it's more commonly called Verbena. http://eol.org/pages/483330/names/synonyms http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-89978 http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?419694#syn

Interestingly enough, it has rather a woody, thick stem underground. A terrific native.
