These seedlings are popping up in my borders. It’s the plant with dark spot on. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Alchemilla Mollis is the first one, with the water sprinkled leaves.

No idea about the lance shaped leaf with the reddish blotch on it though.

The feathery leaf between that lance shaped one could be cosmos.
, but it doesn’t show up well on my pc.

Thanks dappleshade. It’s just the one with the blotch on that I’m having trouble identifying. Hopefully someone will have an idea.

Persicaria?

The one with the marks on the leaves is Redshank (Persicaria maculosa):

Thanks everyone. Would you treat this as a weed?

BobTheGardener · June 2020

Yes a bit of a problem weed if let loose, @Pam100

Once they seed you will have them coming up for years (seeds can lay dormant in the soil for several decades), so best pull them all up now. Lots of info on this page:
