Wiry upright stems with slender alternating slightly toothed leaves. Small flowers reportedly appear by late summer, but the plant I found in our garden had already bloomed when I spotted it in early May. Although interesting, the plant has an overall messy appearance, so I'm going to classify it as a weed. It had already dropped some seed by the time I found it, so I suspect it will make a repeat appearance in our garden.
