Looks like a variation of a wild violet..interesting textures!
looks like a form of purple basil
Looks like peppermint mint plant. It will spread, quickly, so if you don't want a bunch of it, try to contain it in a pot or curtail spreading by putting some underground barrier around it! Good luck!
I do not know however, Look up to see if you have a college extension office in your locality or if any list an email for master gardeners. In Washington we have WSU Extension offices and Master Gardeners. Also maybe try a large commercial greenhouse business. They usually have very Plant Smart employees. Even if it is weed rather than a commercially produced plant, it is rather attractive!
I would trim off the flowers before they drop seeds until you know what it is and if you want to keep it. It will get more flowers next year if you want them, just be safe for now.
It kinda looks like ajuga, which is a ground cover creeper.
I just googled it and it is purple basil
This is a herb that you can easily find in many Asia countries. It's called Shiso in Japan, TÃa Tô in Vietnamese. We have it in our back yard. We consume it raw in many dishes such as spring roll, stews, crepe,... It has a lot of health benefits. you can learn more about this herb here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiso
Perilla frutescens, as Oui said, not basil the leaf texture is wrong for basil, it should have a minty smell, has many medicinal uses.
Keeps away mosquitos. I have these plants all over my mountain side. Wonderful smell. Blue Ridge Mountains,USA
Also known as purple mint. Check Shiso on Wikipedia.
