I think you mean crown vetch??

If you see it in large masses, or a lot of square footage, or it appears to be planted instead of naturally occuring-I'd say it is "crown vetch" used for erosion control and to cover banks.
Highway depts use it all the time for this type of application.
If the flower is more upright and is clustered in small goups then it is our native phlox

I would definitly go with the purple, its such a pretty color. you can also use bright pink flowers to pop against the purple, i think i know what green your talking about and it would look great! you can also do the purple tablecloths and use light purple orhcids in a tall vase that lights up. Good luck!

I do beleive that the "flowers" you see on the side of the roads are not flowers at all. They are a type of weed. They are very pretty but be aware, they are full of red bugs.

Not sure what area you are in, but in NYS and PA it is usually crown vetch. LIght pink/purple and looks like clover with puffy petals. It's almost impossible to kill!

Ajuga (sp?) more commonly known as bugel weed. It is quite invasive and great for any area that erodes. It is also an evergreen and has a purple tint to its leaves.

purple vetch. Be careful if you want to plant it because it takes over quickly.
