    Hello,

    Bit rude for a first post I guess, but I have no idea how else to identify a plant.
    Is it or isnt it a weed
    Any help appreciated.

    At a wild guess - possibly Caryopteris but need to see a flower to be sure. They won't be along for another month or so,

    Not sure about the leaf shape for Caryopteris Jenny..

    Hmm I don't think a Hibiscus Jazz the stems look too fleshy and too much of a "clump" I think...

    Welcome to the forums Uthikoloshe.
    Where is this mystery plant?
    Doesn't appear to have a woody stem to make it a shrub.
    Would like to see more pics when it flowers.
