I am not sure that this plant was cultivated. It appeared to be growing wild over other shrubbery. Plant is not edible but is reported to have some medicinal uses.

That's what I was reading! I wonder how you keep it under control for gardens.
The flower of this plant is a favorite with Ruby-throated Hummigbirds (Archilochus colubris).
