The mystery flower

My husband knows this flower as a Mint Bush, but when I have previously looked on the computer, I have never found anything similar. The flowers are tiny (maybe a centimetre or two) and the plants have a habit of popping up around the garden.

 

Thank you Nuytsia@Tas for your ID: It is Hypoestes aristata - Ribbon Bush
