    I think I know what this is but my phone says differently.

    I found it in the edge of a Salvia pot. It has one strong stem and this large cluster of leaves ...

    @Victoria looks like Plectranthus verticillatus.

      What is weird is my phone ID said that. But I don't have that Plectranthus (Swedish Ivy), only Mona Lavender. I swear that was a cutting of my Nepeta I have either side of my front doors. How could it get in my pots?

        :ideaIPB: It all came back to me. Some years ago I ordered four plug plants from Italy a plant that smelled like Frankinscense and two cuttings of Rose-scented Geranium. It was a month before I received the box containing loose soil and dying/dead bits of matter. I saved one Geranium cutting which is now a lovely plant. I had T'other Half throw the soil at the bottom of the garden and he must have thrown it in the pot where I was ressurecting the Salvia .... and nature too over.

        Here is the Plectranthus now ...

        Thank you all. I would not have solved this on my own.
