Is This A Fuchsia or Weed?

Can you tell me the name of this plant? I first thought it was fuchsias but my 9 year old told me that its weed, lol. So, I looked it up and the closest picture I could fine is Purple-Leaved Willow-Herb (Epilobium coloratum)...are they really. Just don't know. Thanks!

    My standard first question: "Does it make you happy?"

    Can't tell you what it is but I can tell you what it isn't and that's Fuchsia! Big help, I know!!! LOL And no, I don't think it's a weed either. Your 9 yr. old was probably pulling your leg and calls everything a weed!!

    Yes Mr. Reeves, but I have clovers & weeds popping up and want to spray weed killer to keep them under control. Whatever these are, I use them as fillers for my garden because they spread and bloom. If they are weeds, I prefer to get rid of them and plant something worthwhile that won't suck up the nutrients from the other plants & shrubs. Do you know what they are called? Thanks so much to the both of you for responding.
