I find this growing in all sorts of locations in my garden, so I assume it's a weed. It grows low to the ground and sends shoots to the side and then up into the air with each ending in one of these little flowering spires. Each little purple/pink flower is about 10 mm high (very small). Should I be pulling it or growing it? I need help from you smarter gardeners....Is Purple Deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) a weed?So the Pierce Co. Weedboard lists Henbit as a weed Lamium amplexicaule, so what's that say for Purple Deadnettle? I went through the entire Washington State Weed List and this plant is not listed. Here is a link to the Burke Museum information:
www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?go=http://biology.burke.washi...So finally, after much reading, it appears this is a borderline plant. It was once used as a regular garden plant and is still sold today. However, many places list it as a weed in gardens, lawns & crops. I guess I probably didn't plant it, so I'll pull it. Final decision is Weed.
