Plants have been here for a few years so don't seem to be spreading (yet).

Looks like catmint Nepeta cataria but I don't know how different this is from catnip.

It keys to Nepeta cataria in Plantnet. However, there is nothing said about the distinctive velvety leaves. None of the photos on the Atlas of Living Australia show that character. I used to grow something called Allherb many years ago in Brisbane that had leaves like the photo, but I could find nothing of that name on the internet.
