    It comes back every Aug. Instead of pulling it up I let it grow this year. Its about 4 feet tall. Leaves are about 8" long and 6 wide. It has light purple to bluish flowers. It only comes up in one area of my yard so I just let it grow this year. :) I live on 10 acres in the country so I see a lot of wildflowers and weeds but this never this one. I would appreciate any help identifing this plant.

    Thank you Glendann

    I really appreciate the information. I have been curious about this plant since it popped up a few years ago.
