Hi - I have this somehwat invasive plant growing in a flower bed. The
leaves smell like mint when crushed. I thought it might be Mentha
Aquatica, but it's growing in soil. The flowers are at the bottom left
of the image and the reddish seeds are all over. What do you think?

That looks like it could be hoary mountain mint, Pycnanthemum incanum.
