Small plant only about a foot tall under a thick shrub. It has purple flowers that have four petals and a lighter purple or whitish center, but the color change is gradual not distinct. The very center of the flower is yellow. The leaves are heart-shaped and dentated. The stems are fuzzy. While this plant was near several houses it did not seem taken care for or purposefully planted.
Unable to find it in the plants of the pacific northwest book, this flower was very common. It was about 1-2 feet tall, with green leaves that make a sort of heart shape, ending in a point at the tip. Near the top half of the plant the flowers begin to appear, four petaled and purple, that fade into almost a sort of blue near the center. They cluster at the top, with many flowers present on each plant.
