Looks like a dahlia to me. I like the purple leaved kinds myself.

I thought Dahlia at first, but could it be Elderflower? (Very pungent when crushed.)1

My first thought was Elder.Heck I've seen a lot of them in my time they do seed well. Only needs a visiting bird to drop a fruit or from the other end, the seedOne way to know for (almost sure) is to use the plant identifier app. Or find a friend who has it.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
