Weed or not weed?

[ClaudiaWinklepanda]

I’m generally a fan of wild looking gardens, but don’t want to indulge things too much if they’re going to be a problem later. What’s this? A lot of it has popped up, but it’s a bit different to the centranthus ruber that I have, so I don’t think it’s that.

Have you tried a plant identifier app on your phone?

It might be willowherb?

Yes weed. They pull out easily.

It is a weed. Not positive of the name but think it is willowherb. Spreads easily, grows fast but is easily pulled out

Yes, some sort of willowherb.

Yes, Google lens says willow herb too, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks all!

It spreads like wildfire, so make sure you dig it out as soon as you can.

It’s a willowherb, but not the rosebay which is the topic of @Lovelyview’s link
