'wild coleus' flowers

My 'wild coleus' on the deck sent up flower spikes.
They look more like basil than coleus flowers to me, but that's no surprise as the two are in the same general plant family.

    It still grows in my yard, self-seeds every year. I don't think it's a coleus, but in a related plant family. A gardening forum online identified it to me as shiso. I do not know if that is accurate (have not yet tried to eat it!)
