Help identifying?

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me what the plant is in attached picture; it seems to have popped up absolutely everywhere… I planted some wildflower seeds last year and am wondering if it has self seeded?

Thank you!

Do the leaves look like anything that grew last year?

That looks like Fireweed to me. Chamaenerion angustifolium or Rosebay willow herb. You only need one plant in the area and a strong wind for it to spread everywhere.

Thank you for your reply - I have just googled it, I do not recall ever having that in the garden before but we live in an open area; that is certainly something that I see all along the roadsides up here in The Highlands... I shall try and get it all up I think!!
