I thought (hoped) this was Love in the Mist but now I'm not sure.  They arrived so suddenly and have grown so fast that I'm afraid they're weeds image

 Any help would be much appreciated

    Ooh, how exciting!  Just looked them up and it says they get 3 ft tall!  Best move the one at the front of the border in the back garden then.  I wonder where they came from.

    Thank you Nut image

    I think it looks like love in the mist. In the last 2 weeks mine shot up and are about knee height.

    They are very alike, how confusing.  I'll let you know how things develop but either will be very welcome image
