The plants have grown from seeds "contaminating" some multipurpose
compost I
bought and I'm curious to know what they are.
I posted a link for these three as seedlings a few weeks ago.
They have grown a lot since then - any ideas anyone?
The stalks are quite fleshy and not woody so I don't think they are
tree
seedlings.
Suggestions?

Hemp Agrimony
I think you may be right - Hemp Agrimony (eupatorium cannabinum). I've
just
Googled for images and while mine aren't in flower yet the foliage looks
right. Google says it is a wildflower attractive to butterflies and can
even
be bought from a number of plant nurseries, which would perhaps imply it
isn't a pernicious weed?
Anyone know if it invasive? Presumably it has a habit of seeding itself
everywhere - which I how I got it "free" in my multi-purpose compost.
It looks like the plants are for keeping rather than composting, so the
question now is whether to set them out in a flower border or give them a
little border to themselves.
Anyone growing this?
Well, yes. Nice butterfly plant, nice smell when you stick your nose in.
Looks nice at the back of perennial bed. But - it _does_ seed itself. Better
not grow it, if your garden is damp. Mine is dry, so it is manageable
