The seed that grew this 5 foot plant was in a packet of flower seeds given to me. Is it a weed or a flower? Thank you!

Hello!
While we appreciate the photo, we will need to see this sample for proper identification.

You are welcome to bring the sample to the CSU Extension office at 9595 Nelson Road in Longmont.

Thank you!
