Hi there.

Does it have a scent? It looks a lot like Lemon Balm/Melissa officinalis.

Hi there.
Now that you mention it, it does have a scent. Its pretty hard to describe, though. Its a kinda weird smell.

Hi there!
I made a mistake, it smells like lemon. I think its lemon balm.

It's aggressive and will spread readily, reminds me of peppermint the way it pops up everywhere.
