Hello my scientific friends, these plants are growing in our break room at work. They seem like happy monocots. I believe they are a lily of some sort I am just not sure of the variety. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Whorled Plectranthus (Plectranthus verticillatus)Observer
meganchandlerDescription
OK. I know this is not a plant in the wild but I would still love to know what it is. I believe it is in the mint family based on the square stems. A friend referred to it as a “Creeping Charlie” and I looked it up but with common names there are many variations. If anyone could help with a scientific name that would be great! I can provide more pictures if necessary. Thank you!!
