    I don't recognise this as a weed, so it probably came in the soil along with the sedum.
    Does anyone know what it is, so I know whether to pull it out or let it grow,
    Thanks.

      Does it look like one of these which are nipplewort seedlings (weeds) in various stages of development?

        Thanks, Simbad - I have googled francoa sonchifolia and it could well be that. I will leave it in the pot and see what happens :-)
