It's a nightshade, possibly Solanum nigrum.

Check out Origanum libanoticum - bracts can be quite long at this time of the season.

Beautiful plant, but be very careful. It can be extremely difficult to remove from unwanted areas. A raised border planter won't necessarily be sufficient to contain spread--it can send rhizomes down and then laterally. (Picture down a raised planter and under a 3-4' concrete walkway.) If brave enough, I would put it in a solid bottomed planter with just drainage holes below, on top of solid concrete. And then be very careful with the pruning pieces. Definitely do not reuse the soil. I love the look of the plant, but don't dare introduce it into my CA garden.

You're right. Some are serrated and some are not. Could be 2 plants? Thank you again. The person who asked me for an ID said she had removed some dry branches. It's not clear why they died. Plant is on north facing windowsill. Gets watered once a week. Any thoughts?

rather poisonous ..... if you have kids around that might eat them ...... remove immediately ....

if you do not have the kid issue ..... remove anyway.. unless you want every seed to germinate next spring.. as well as birds carry them around the neighborhood .....

Please don’t eat this plant based on a YouTube video. Some strains are safe but you have no way of knowing the potency of the one you have. This site is more sensible In so far as it points out the differences between different strains. Plants for a Future. Unless you are starving I don’t know why you’d take the risk.
