    Looks like Lemon balm to me - squeeze the leaves in your fngers - do they smell of lemon?

    Yes I was going to say the same. I have it and it comes up like a weed. Someone once told me that if you keep a few sprigs in a vase in the kitchen in the summer it keeps the flies away. Anyone know that story?

    It makes a very good infusion, with many health benefits.
