Is this a weed?

[Family143]

Please can you more knowledgeable mumsnetters tell me whether this is a weed?

Photos are currently under review.
Thank you in advance. There is quite a lot of it in other places so don't want to risk pulling them out in case they are plants.

Thimbleberry according to Google lens

Yes

I think it looks like japanese anemone. Give it a month to see how it flowers.

Although it looks like a nettle at the top right of the 1st photo

Possibly Japanese anenome. I have some, great flowers, approx 4ft high in summer. They are very robust and don't need any looking after. Attract bees. Take a while to start spreading.

Agree Japanese anemone
They are good for a shady bed but do spread. Not too hard to control the numbers you have ime.
I just leave the ones growing in gaps and pull/dig out the others

I don’t think it is Japanese anenome, wrong leaves

Yes, there’s definitely a nettle there. Agree it looks like Japanese anemone - mine won’t be flowering for at least a couple of months yet. If that’s what it is, is a nice plant if it stays where you want it to but can be a spreading thug!

It is def a Japanese anemone…

Thank you for all your replies.
I have pictures of the flowering plants I planted but not the leaves and I can't remember planting 3 of them! So looking at japanese anemone it matches the flower photo that I have. Them spreading explains why I have more than I remember. Less weeding though! Thanks so much.

Wow! If it is Japanese Anemone I’m impressed that that’s what I immediately thought when I saw it.
I’m a newish gardener and realise that I’m getting better at plant ID 😀
