Can anyone tell me identify this plant?

[E86]

Can anyone please tell me what this plant is? My family and I moved into a house last fall, and the garden is full of things we can't identify. This particular plant appears to be a shrub, but we are unsure. The leaves feel fuzzy and soft. When broken off, the leaves give off a distinct smell. When pulled out, the roots are extremely long, twisting throughout the garden, and connecting to other plants like it. There are so many of these in our garden, and I think they're choking out everything else. Three different pictures of the same plant can be found at these links:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It looks just like a nettle doesn't it? But you would soon know as the bigger leaves would sting you.

Try taking one along to your local garden centre, I find they are great for identifying plants.

To me, it looks and sounds like some member of the mint family. It looks a lot like the Bee Balm I have growing on my garden border. If it is a mint family plant, they can easily over-run an area quickly.

Hi
It is Applemint or Wooly applemint. Smells like ordinary mint but with a fruity overtone. Nice in summer drinks. Not so nice when rampant in your garden. Save a bit and put it in a pot and dig the rest up as it is as invasive as most mints are.

It's definitely a type of mint. I can't tell what kind it is without seeing the flowers. Maybe it's catnip? You should ask your cat, if you have one.
