Jody, The only thing I could think of is Beet tops... but unless you planted them, I don't think it would be those... and if it's a weed, it looks like a stressed Plantain but I don't think the leaves quite match up... Broadleaf Plantain (P) — Plantago major

OP murphyette Member M Joined: Jun 2004 MI	Well, I wonder what the heck it is. Is it really a weed? it sure is a pretty weed. LOL About 2yrs ago, I had a Canturbury Bell planted in that exact spot. I thought it had died, because it never came up the following year. Think this could be related to that? The CB's didn't have purple leaves, though. Weird. The only thing that made me think it might not be a weed was because of it's growth rate.
