Can someone ID this yellow daisy-like plant?

I sowed different seeds mainly salvias, lazy daisy, blue flax, etc. So is this a weed?

She seems too pretty to be a weed. Maybe she is a native.

Remember, a weed is simply a plant that's growing where you don't want it! Most native plants that spread by seed are considered weeds by a lot of people because they insist upon growing in the grass. If you like it, I'd leave it and capture the seeds so you can plant it where you want it next year.

I bought two of those at Home Depot this past winter and decided to combine them (too many plants/not enough room)So I took them out of the pot, bought a bigger pot that would fit both of them and re potted them together, they didn't make a fuss at all. as a matter of fact they both had new growth within a few weeks after repotting and they weren't at all root bound. My sister in law just wacks hers off at the top, as far down as she desires her plant to be and sticks the cut off part in the dirt and gets more plants that way. Her stem seems to be a lot thicker than mine and maybe that is due to the whacking she gives it a few times a year.

These plants can be hard to ID.... but... cut a leaf stem. Is it round or triangular? Does it leak white sap, does the sap brown quickly? Turn the leaf over. Is there a line of small hairs on the main undervein of the leaf? (Hold lateral to ground with sun beyound to see the hairs.) Triangular and no hair suggests a Sonchus of some kind, triangular and hair suggests a lactuca. Round and no hair is a dandelion, round and hair is a chicory. All have white sap, but the lactucs brown more quickly than the others.

Here is a message my sister sent me for more discription. Hello, it only has one trunk. The leaves growing off of it are coming from the trunk. It bumps out under the bark like a vein then the leaves grow out from that. It didn't have mites. I had to cut it because all of the top leaves died from wind damage being on Sue's(my other Sister) front porch(very open & bright sun) and the transport from Ma's to Sue's then Sue's to here. There was about a 2 feet of tree with no leaves. It looked horrible so I cut it off. Since then it has filled out nice like a bush. Before I cut it there was only one off shoot on the bottom of the trunk and the top leaves.

I have to agree that H. annuus is the likely ID. I've been poking around this post for a few days, and find nothing else that is a decent candidate. The H. annuus plants found in gardens always have those very large heads, large leaves, and are relatively compact in form. But wild plants are often leggy, have smaller flowers (especially in dryer climates), and have fewer & smaller leaves in the inflorescence. Check online photos, and you'll see several examples that look much like the two photos above.

I believe it might be a False Sunflower, Heliopsis helianthoides
I wouldn't call it a weed, some would, lol
I sowed seeds a few years ago but never got them

It looks like a type of Senecio to me. Maybe S. triangularis?
