    Hi,

    This plant appears yearly in my yard, wondering if anyone knows what it is or if is it invasive.

    I planted wildflowers late in the year, but I don't think it would have come from this, do you?

    I used this wildflower mix - Clay Display

    It all depends on what was in the mix. Does it say what type of flowers in the mix?
    Does look like a salvia type.

    If it appears yearly then unlikely from the wildflower mix.
    What's the foliage like? Salvia leaves are often scented.
    When does it appear?
    Picture of the foliage might help.

      What's confusing me is to see it flowering at this time of year. Where are you @trevor.biggins ? Was the photo taken recently?
