    Maybe a picture?

    I am not familiar with herbs really. Could it be lemon balm. :confused:

    I would guess Lemon Balm, too. Kind of low and spreads QUICKLY.......here anyway.

    How big are the leaves and what do they look like? My best guess at this point would be lemon balm also.......but if it is just slightly spreading maybe not. Mine spreads like wildfire :haha:

    If you want to keep it contained, be sure to cut the flowers off early. This place is covered with it, and I guess it can get kind of invasive.
