Have got several of these in the front rockery patch, I thought at first they were sweet williams so I left them, but now I have no idea what they are & if I want them. Just spotted one growing out of the wall as well

Looks like evening primrose to me, a wonderfull plant, but they do self seed a lot, which can be good in the right place.

Rose-Bay Willow herb does tend to have red stems, and red flowers. Seeds very "fluffy" and distinctive...  :-\
