A few of these have popped up around my hydrangea where I had put down 5cm of mulch! Looks a bit like corriander or parsley but doesn't smell like one. What is it?
Looked up Larkspur seedlings and they seem a bit more upright and purposeful as per pic below whereas the plant I uploaded seems shabby, leaf structure seems the same though. Larkspur is pretty though, is it considered a garden plant or an unwanted guest/weed?
I suppose if you put poppy and larkspur on your compost heap there’s a good chance they will come up after it’s spread, I don’t think the usual garden compost gets hot enough to kill off all seeds.

Californian poppy seedlings are similar as per below pic but again more purposeful. I do have a digitalis planted next to it so will let it grow for bit and see what we get. I used commercial erecreous compost as mulch as I had some leftover.
