Welcome!

It looks like mint. What does it smell like?

Is the stem square?

Could this possibly be sage?

@crawgarden The stem does seem square to me based on the photos (I'm not the original poster though). It is probably some Lamiaceae although I'm not entirely sure about it. My closest guess is sage (due to the rough texture of the leaves) or mint.

Hi @laksunn

your plant seems to be about to flower. When it flowers, could you send us some photos? That way, we will be able to get a better identification.

Thank you Smiling

Just wondering, was this from one of the unsolicited mystery seed packets that were being sent to people a while back and were in the news?

I can't believe nobody has noticed the label. This is a peach tea plant.

It reminds me of Mint (Mentha) too and it appears like you will see blooms before long.
