This plant has appeared all over garden and in pots - cannot find it in any books etc. Can anyone identify it please. The leaves are not scented nor are the flowers.

    At first glance it looks like a salvia.
    A close-up of the flowers may help us confirm

    Billericay - Essex

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Looks like my Back n Blue Salvia, but  stunted because it’s been kept in a pot,  they’re usual about 4’ tall. 
    They have huge roots, better in the garden.
    if that’s what it is of course 🙂
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    I agree with @nutcutlet as I have it seeding all over my garden. It originally came from a garden I worked in and has since moved gardens with me. I’m fond of it!
