I believe it is a type of spurge, Euphorbia. If you break a stem it should exude a white substance. https://www.clemson.edu/cafls/research/weeds/weed-id-bio/broadleaf-weeds-parent/broadleaf-pages7/spotted-spurge.html

My first thought was spurge as well, but there's another one that has similarly shaped leaves and grows tall, and it's not a spurge, so no milky sap - chamber bitters...?

Called "mugwort" because it was used to flavor beer. It spreads both by seeds and rhizomes.

How interesting that they look so similar. Maybe not in person, but the pictures. My lawn guy told me it was Virginia Buttonweed. When I looked it up, I figured he was right. Now after seeing the thread on Richardia, that looks more like it. Thanks, writersblock.

I agree with carol23. Get rid of it before it seeds all over.
