If you let it seed you'll have billions of the little blighters.

If it looks like this when small then I don't think so:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rosebay+willowherb&t...

It starts off tiny and grows upwards more than it grows outwards - this is another baby and medium-sized one, the leaves are quite sparse going up the stem:
Think we skipped weeding one year and now are paying for it.
Yer, definitely one of the smaller growing/flowered ones - take your pick.

They are very prolific by seed but easy to pull out in the first year, once they start bulking up they can form tough well rooted clumps and start spreading by roots in subsequent years.

Another vote for one of the willow herbs. That photo showing something broad and close to the ground is about to go off like a jack-in-a-box and become a single stemmed, tall, lanky thing.
Yeah this came up in a search, pretty much what we have: http://c8.alamy.com/comp/E165RD/canalside-weeds-gr... The other types seem much more showy. But yes, just a 'yank it quick' weed, good news.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
