  It does smell minty... thought I had planted my mint with a barrier or in pots as I knew it was invasive. Hmmmm!

My guess is mint -- they spread like crazy.

I agree that it could be hyssop or a mint, or monarda (bee balm). All of those have fragrant foliage, which may help you to identify. Hyssops usually smell like anise (licorice), and bee balm has a strong, musky scent. There are many kinds of mint, of course. All of those plants are attractive to pollinators, ie hummingbirds, bees, butterflies. I think they are nice to have.

I also think it is bee balm or burgamint. It should have red or pink flowers. Hummingbirds love them

  These plants just this morning flowered and am thinking that it is bee balm. I attached pictures below of the flowers, and would love it if they were bee balm!

I don’t know what it’s called but I had those growing around my garage at my old house. It gets about 8 feet tall and produces yellow flowers.

Could also be lemon balm. This is like mint and grows everywhere!

It has tiny white flowers and slender leaves. Maybe an annual. I sprinkled some seeds from a mixed seed packet without knowing what is going to come up.
