    Campanula persicifolia probably.

    I agree with @Rubytoo  ... Looks like the Campanula persicifolia that selfseeds around this garden. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Can it be divided/ moved easily?

    Actually I think there are two different plants.  The top one looks like Goldenrod ant the bottom one like the Campanula, so we could all be right!

    Is the goldenrod an ok plant?

    I love Golden rod. I give it the Chelsea chop and it makes big statement clumps of yellow flowers, good for cutting in late summer. Also drought tolerant for me and a Self seeder

    I'm glad I finally managed to get rid of goldenrod in my garden. A true invader it was!

    If you don’t want it to spread cut it down before the seeds develop ... they drift in the breeze like thistledown.
