Loads of other plants which are good for insects at this time of year - all the daisies for example - Heleniums, Rudbeckias, Helianthus, Asters, Shasta daisies etc.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Only the annual willowherbs are easy to pull up, @Ilikeplants. Rosebay willowherb, which is what the OP has, I think, is perennial and has deep, thick roots which spread widely. Not good news in a flower bed...

Thank you for all your comments. I'm very lucky to have a big enough garden where I can have wild areas for pollinators so I dont have to worry about spread in flower beds... 🌸🐝🌺🐝 But ground elder... Now theres a different story!!

You're a brave gardener to let Willowherb self seed around🙂
