Small purple flowers
Comments (8)Is now an OK time to move them? Or do I need to wait and move the roots in the fall when the tops die? I'm moving a lot of lily of the valley as well, so if/when that takes hold, I will need some deep edging to contain it. Is the same appropriate to the violets or does it spread differently? The violets seem to be a lot less effective at displacing grass than the lily. So elsewhere on my property, I'm more worried about more aggressive weeds displacing the violets than about the violets growing out of control. None of the places I'm placing any of this are close to neighbors' lawns. Most people in the neighborhood have a lawn only in front and uncontrolled weeds in the back. My wife insisted on having our back yard ripped up and regraded, so I need to plant some more controlled weeds there. We only have one acre, but we don't want to mow anything other than a tiny front yard....See MoreSmall purple flowers - SE British Columbia, Canada

Comments (5)Seeing the leaves would help as I think that would help give us a sense of scale as well. Though it would certainly be atypical flower heads, both Glechoma hederacea and Prunella vulgaris have similar flowers and can bloom throughout much of the growing season including now. I don't really think it is one of these but I throw them out there because things that bloom in October are a short list in the region -- I'm western NY State and probably have much the same list. Seeing the leaves would certainly help. FataMorgana...See MoreShrub with Small Purple Flowers ID
Comments (3)Thanks, Floral! Yep, Ken, I actually did buy something, but thought it was an outdoor thing. Not sure where I'd want to put it in the house as it's only a couple feet tall. Seems more suited to the outdoors. Might return it....See MoreEmbothrium
