Is this a weed?

On the back of my echinacea thread. I seem to have lost 6 little echinacea plants I planted after the flowering season. Slugs weren’t that interested in them as sat there for a long while. Until winter, now there is nothing but blobs of the plant in the background. Think more blobs than I planted. Suspecting a weed but before I pull want to be sure what it is.

Looks a bit like common cornsalad, but I'm no expert so will wait to see what others think.

My first thought was Epilobium, but , yes, it does look more like cornsalad. Are the leaves completely smooth or do they have a few hairs?
