This may be Shiso.
a very easy plant to grow, in fact, although it is an annual, it reseeds
itself vigorously and will come up year after year.   I grow both the
green and red (sort of purple, actually)  and both are delicious.

I also grow Rau Ram which is also known as Vietnamese Coriander  -  it
is a periennial but tastes just like cilantro  and does not  bolt in hot
weather.
It is easy to root,  buy some in an Asian market  put it in a vase of
water on your window sill and after 3 days snap off the bottom segment
which will now have roots,  Plant the segment in vermiculite  and in a
couple of weeks you will have leaves and a plant you can pot up.

It dies back in winter outside, but will grow nicely indoors.
