And lamiums have square stems, which the one if the photo appears to have ... but then so does figwort
Have battled with Figwort in the past but it had very dark green stems, almost black from a distance, which kind of threw me off the mark. As it matures, it reaches up to 7ft high and branches out with thin stems and begins to look somewhat like a Verbena bonariensis near the top part of the plant but has weird red or green ball-shaped flowers instead.
Deffo agree on watching this thread. Some pics when it matures would be great!

Figwort was the first new plant I learned to identify on Nature Walks at primary school
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It looks like it might flower soon, I'll post some pics when it does
I think it looks like a bee balm aka bergamot (Monarda didyma)
Don't suppose it's a type of Beebalm? I think Nut would have known if it was that.
Snap!!?
The proof is in the pudding
If 8000wildflowers could kindly post pics when the plants flower it would be great!!

Certainly will !!
Hi all
Having waited patiently for these to flower...I think they have.
See enclosed.
They look like they're 'about' to flower, and they're not really a flower, but I think this is it.
Does this help the ID?
