Hi all, Can anyone identify this for me please? Have a number of them popping up around the garden and assume it is a weed.

They look like seedlings of Pyrethrum Golden Feather, but it may not be true to those grown last year. You can either pull them out as a weed or plant them out in a flower border and see what happens.

Do they have a sort of liquorice smell when you crush the leaves? If so, it's one I treat as a weed, too.

Thanks for your helpful posts peeps, I will refrain from yanking them all up from now on as they fill gaps nicely between larger shrubs! Yet again another gardening school day!

Second one looks like Feverfew and has a small daisy flower. If it goes to seed ,you may have a job to get rid of it.
