Those taller purple flowers are verbenas not weeds. They do tend to lean and meander a bit and that might not please everyone. Landscapers like them because you can see through them and they don’t form a solid block of foliage. I lost a good number of them a few years back as the soil they were planted in was too heavy and wet. Verbenas like well drained soil. I have some ‘volunteer” verbenas that came up on their own this year and they are doing well. I did notice that this year the landscapers had planted them in the median gardens.
