    Google Epilobium parviflorum and see whether it matches. The other willowherb, E. angustifolium, has thin, non-furry leaves.

      Either Epilobium parviflorum or Epilobium hirustum, they are both similar. They are wild flowers and look pretty in the hedgerows, but a nuisance in a garden.

        Definitely a willowherb, very invasive in the garden. On the other hand it provides a valuable food source for butterflies.
