    It looks familiar, I don't think it is willowherb, possibly some sort of verbena or veronica possibly, but as above, wait and see if there's someone who knows what it is

    Doesn't look like a weed.

    Keep it.....it will flower and then we can be sure to give a correct id.

     leaves aren't right for LV - I've had one for years - similar shape, but not serrated and much lighter green and LV is a twiggy shrub that looks dead until early May then springs into life

    and as for nut's suggestion - I can only agree with Dove ;) (and nut!)
