It could be Melissa officianalis, lemon balm.
In any case, it's unlikely to be invasive, so you can safely leave it till it flowers.

Thanks for the info. If it is lemon balm, my wife will be very pleased- she's an aromatherapist and always interested in seeing where the oils come from.
If it turns out to be edible, I will be very pleased as well=-)
I wonder where it came from...
