I think this plan is a coleus but could you please tell me if this is true and should I let it flower. Many thanks Tony.

Looking at the leaves, I think this one might be Plectranthus Ciliatus. They should over-winter if you keep them in a cool greenhouse in the winter time. I don't think there is any need to stop it flowering.
Agree Plectranthus sp..
However not a match for Plectranthus ciliatus...which has very hairy purple hairs on the stems etc.

Hi silver surfer, there are no hairs of any kind on the stems,it is in a east facing window and grows really well easy to strike cuttings and prune.
I'll keep looking thank you Tony.
