    Could it be one of the Plectranthus plants often used for bedding, hanging baskets etc that has overwintered? Not sure whether they're scented tho ...

            Well, on my phone app, all comes to Coleus but one say Lemon Balm. I have Coleus nearby but never Lemon Balm. One was growing in one of my Hibiscus pots and the other in my False Aralia pot. I have Nepeta nearby and T'other Half thinks its that but their leaves are small and these are large. A mystery.

              Thank you and welcome BobTG. For now we will go with Nepeta and plant them somewhere.
