This ground cover grows in my flower beds. It grows during the spring and spread out over the area. It has a purple bloom just before hot weather and then dies back. It comes back to grow again in the cool fall weather.
My chickens love to eat this plant and it grows all winter except during a hard freeze.
I have searched the net and can't find a name, Does anyone have an idea as to what it is?

I answered my question, the creeping charles gave me a clue then I searched henbin last I found that purple dead nettle was the plant. I am sure because this photo shows the plant in bloom.
