Unknown plant in garden

Hello, this plant popped up in my garden last year and I pulled it out. It has appeared again in the same spot this year. Can anyone identify it for me?

I did not plant baby blue eyes or five spot. However .... I did have several packets of mixed flowers, and I think there may have been some herbs and greens mixed in too. The print was too small for me to read. I know that I have lots of Henbit, Stinging Nettle and Chickweed growing wild all over my garden. Also have Radishes and Mustard Greens and Tomatoes coming up as volunteers every year, along with hundreds of volunteer California Poppies and Calendulas .....

I've never thought about getting sick from eating raw vegetables from my garden ... I often pick Greens while I'm in my garden and eat them raw. I do look for bugs and if I only see one or two, I flick the bugs off the leaves. If I see an infestation of bugs, I cut the leaves off and throw them in the garbage dumpster. This year my garden has not had many bugs. The biggest problem with bugs is the Kale and Kohlrabi, Also Chinese Cabbage, Red Giant Mustard, but not as bad.

If not precisely a weed, it is an incredible thug! Once established, it spreads very aggressively by underground rhizomes. In a client's garden, sprouts were coming up yards away from the mother plant. Cornell University has this to say about the plant:" Very aggressive and requires considerable effort to keep under control."

Sorry, I should have specified that there is Monarda bradburiana in the background, but the plant I'm talking about is the one in front of it. Iwithut flowe have some Monarda fistulosa out front but this definitely isn't it. There is also some Heliopsis to the left of the plant in question, along with some Coreopsis, Russian sage, and ironweed in the background.

I ended up digging it out and putting it in a pot in case it turns out to be anything nice. If it helps, it has a taproot and rhizomes.

Well, I've identified it... it's Campanula rapunculoides. Yikes.
