I picked this plant up at a yard sale about 6 months ago. It started out at about 4" and is now nearly 2' tall. It is always green and I've learned it does not like the cold.

I do not know what this plant is called, but it grows like a weed in my back garden.
IT looks like a very nice plant, but hard to find anything about it! It would also help to know if the stem is more or less woody, or if it flowers at all. It would also help to know what part of the world you and the plant are in
The only thing I saw out there that looked like it was something called Canada clearweed: gobotany.newenglandwild.org/
I went to this website: www.lovethegarden.com/
It looks like nettle, a weed, to me.
I have studied this photo and it really looks like a plant/weed that my mother called "Fat Hen". She fed it to our cows and our mules also ate this plant so if it is this plant then it is edible for farm animals and it would grow to over 2 feet tall.
I really thought Fat Hen was a name my mother made up but I checked my plant books and found there really is a weed by this name (and other names).
Here is a photo of this weed so maybe you can judge for yourself:

If you think this could be your plant - Here is a site that gives information:
It looks like something from a Dr Seuss book. It's fantastic. Congrats on such an interesting plant! I am envious!
Given the source and rapid growth, it could be a weed. So until identify otherwise, would suggest you cut and discard any flower before it forms seeds which could spread particularly outside.
