I am trying to identify a perennial that I put in my garden a few years ago. It grows in a clump and doesn't spread. the leaves are a deep green with small serrated edges. The leaves at full growth are 3/4" wide by 1" long and each branch grows in a cluster. Each plant is approximately 1+ foot in diameter. It produces flowers in June that pass quickly. The flowers are lavender and are flat with 4 or 5 petals.
