Plant or weed? ID please!

Hi there, I have this plant that popped up between my veggie garden and my fence. It's pretty when it's in bloom, but I've been known to find many a weed to be beautiful :)

Now that it's fall, it's gone to seed. I've collected some to plant next year in a more suitable location, but would like to know whether I'm planning on planting a garden full of weeds.

Thanks so much!
Ginny

Oh, thank you!

It's only a weed if you don't want it; USDA does not list it as invasive or noxious, there are even cultivated varieties of the same family, so keep it if you like the flowers, just food for thought.
