Hello! Can anyone identify this plant? Planted a few packets of seeds including a mixed perennial pack. Is this a flower or rogue weed? It's the tallest and hardiest in our little flower garden......not sure if that's a good or bad thing! ;)
Thank you in advance from this new gardener.

My first wild thought was sumpweed. I hope I'm wrong.

It reminds me of some type of Amaranthus

One for compariosn is Redroot Pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus)

My thought was Pigweed too. What is a sumpweed?
