Most places it is growing, it is much taller than this one by our pool.

Thank you so much!

I don‘t intend to use these as herbs, certainly.

It’s burnweed, aka fireweed

Fireweed usually denotes a different plant, Chamaenerion angustifolium.

Oh, that came up in the search

That link doesn’t seem to be working for this houzz site.

Works perfectly well for me.........

And just so you know, we tend to give scientific names so that you can look it up with that. Often the same common name gets used for several different plants, so giving the scientific name will usually reduce the confusion.

Thank you so much for helping me identify this! Relieved it is annual, and I will uproot and discard all I find of them in my yard.

Ongoing battle with weeds in our backyard.
