Could you please tell me if this is a weed? Should I pull them all
out?
Thanks for the help.

I think it is called Rose Bay Willow Herb, I believe it is from Canada
originally, If it was in my garden I would pull it out.

I don't think it's rosebay. Leaves paler green and not so glossy. I
think it's broad-leaved.

I agree, probably Broad-Leaved Willow Herb. This has an unremarkable flower
display and I would pull it out. Leaving aside their tendency to be
invasive, the only
two WillowHerbs that I think make a charming floral display are Rose-Bay
Willow
Herb, which can be seen in great clumps along the motorways in August, and
Great
Willowherb, AKA 'Codlins and Cream'.
