Hello! Can anyone help identify this plant please?
I discovered it in a small pot when we moved to our new home. I decided to keep it and see if it was anything worth keeping. To my surprise, last spring it grew significantly and established deep purple stems and new leaves tinged with purple.
The below photos were taken last summer, it appeared to drop its leaves over winter. It seems to be a climber of some sorts. Someone mentioned it could be some kind of ornamental ivy? I'm deciding whether its worth purchasing a trellis for it grow up, but if it's a weed then perhaps not. Any help identifying this plant would be much appreciated!

Mystery plant has opposite leaves.
Looks like Leycesteria formosa golden lantern. Not a climbing plant.
