I know I had one previously but cannot for the life of me remember if this is where I moved it too and it's coming up as the second option on a plant id app

    Could be, what was the first option ?

    If it's that then it's something that's found it's way there by itself

    I'm 99.99% certain that it's a salvia, but whether or not it's Hotlips l'm not so sure about. I've just had a look at mine and the leaves seem smaller,, but that just could be a trick of the camera.

    Did you have a blackcurrant salvia? They have leaves like that.

    The only one I had was hot lips. As long as it's not something that's going to take over the bed it can stay and I'll just have to wait and see! Thank you both

    When you crush a leaf what does it smell like PlantyPru, does it match the description of the second plant?

    Good suggestion @Uff. Does it smell "sagey" or "basily" ? (Technical description there 😁)

    The bluish tints to the leaves makes me think salvia too.

    I'm all sinused up at the minute so smelling things isn't happening 😩 I'll give it a go tomorrow if I can breathe properly then
