Can somebody identity this mystery plant in my garden?
thanks

Has a habit of being a bit rampant, if you are not careful.
It has pretty white flowers and smells of bitter oranges when crushed.
I do like crushing the leaves for the smell.
I find its only rampant in wet soil. In dry soil it hardly moves. It tolerates shade.
Ah, that's why it's so rampant here then fidget. Next time a bit pops it's head up (I have been trying to get rid of it) I will put some in a pot and enjoy it there
Hi all
thanks very much for the help- I'll try and keep it under control ?
Is this plants evergreen?? Be nice in a container if it is.
