Did I buy a weed?!

The super windy weather of late has blown away my plant labels. I planted this in spring bought from a garden centre. I can’t help but compare it to willow herb. The only other plant is lythrum or loosestrife when I did an image search but neither ring a bell.

    looks like a Willowherb. I've seen Willowherbs on sale at GCs, larger than the plant in with them


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    I agree - willowherb.
    I sometimes think my garden hosts the UK National Collection of willowherbs 😁

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Thanks, I dug it up and separated it from the leaves that look slightly different to what a willow herb seedling looks like and hope I can figure out what is left over 🤯
