Been watching this grow up, thought it was a week because I didn't plant this. Is it a phlox? Don't they flower later in the summer?

From what I can see, I don't think so. If it has four petals on the flower it may be dame's rocket.Can't see the flowerr too well.

Think it's considered a "native" weed. The bees and insects love it.
