Please help me to identify what grew from ‘erigeron’ seeds

in Plants
Hi! I’ve really enjoyed reading this forum as I get used to having a garden for the first time. Thank you all for answering a lot of questions that I didn’t need to ask!
Please can I have some help though in identifying these plants – are they weeds or not? They grew from a packet of seeds I bought online which were supposed to be an azure-coloured erigeron. They don’t look like erigeron to me though.
Even if this is a weed, it’s an attractive one – purple and green foliage, and water drops stay on the surface like pearls. What is it that I’ve been nurturing?

Oh wow, that must be it, thank you Suesyn! I have a tall leycesteria shrub in the garden but the mature leaves don’t look anything like these seedlings so it never occurred to me. Now I’ve had a closer look at some newer leaves I can see it.
I don’t think I can really blame the shop that sold me the seeds then, even if they never sprouted!
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
That confused me too @punkdoc as the seedlings have saw-toothed leaves, but the new growth on the shrub is the same purplish-green colour as @B3 says. And now I've found more seedlings in the patio underneath it, competing with my creeping thyme. Strange because my planter is nowhere near the bush – I blame the birds! Thanks for your help @Suesyn and everyone!
It confused me when a friend gave me young plants.
I was sure she had given me the wrong plant ..but she hadn't.
