But I see, now that I have just googled images for it, it can have white, purple or blue flowers.

Super food chickens, mine loved it.
Has many uses, including wound healing (external, leaves) but questionable for internal use, warnings about liver.
You will probably never have to plant it again, I remember mine spread everywhere.
