I left this one in my garden this year, as it didn't look like a weed--though I couldn't remember planting it either. But, as you can see, the flowers aren't very impressive! The leaves, which tend to be floppy, feel soft and a little furry to the touch.

Looks like a species of Epilobium, commonly known as willow herbs.

You'll want to pull that one before seed set, unless you'd like a few hundred more :-)

Many thanks to both of you! It sounds as if it is a weed after all.
