Does it flower? Try an app called Plantnet, you can take a picture of the leaf and it may help you identify it.

I have a couple of different plants that look like that so do not be in a hurry to pull them out. I started lots of flowers this year as well and one of them looks like those. It was marked lupine which is not right but they had the prettiest little kind of bell shaped flowers on them in pink white and a blueish purple. Give it time.

From the photo the leaves look like phlox. Where are you located as different states have different booms times?

How about Batchelor's Button? Forgot the botanical name. Blue "cornflower" type bloom. Speads by seed and underground roots, but not invasive. Grows back when cut after blooming. Great fill-in for areas with poor soil. Rabbits like the young foliage (grrrr)

Those are bachelor button. They will get a purple flower in them. Keep deadheading the blooms after they have wilted and they will flower again all summer.

sounds like a lot of confusion over this plant. I, also, think it looks similar to gomphrena or bachelor buttons. when in doubt---let it grow, let it grow, let it grow. (just one of them, in case it's a monster).

I think that this looks like the Sweet William that came up in my wildflower garden. It started about 2 years ago and I have been planning to move it to a more permanent spot since it has come back so far. But it might be those 2 yrs jobbies so I haven't had time this fall to get too personal with it. Whatever it turns out to be, it must like it there!( I agree with the guy at the top...dianthus and Sweet William is one. Only instead of one flower it puts up a head of many small ones whichever it is just love on it and it will love you back !

I've looked at a lot of pics online and some of the tall phlox look like best possible. Blooms mid to late summer depending on what zone you are in. So many plants come from seeds that are spread by birds it's hard to tell. I know it's not a pink lady but, like them it could put out foliage which dies back and then almost overnight a flower pops up.
