Need help identifying. Phone says ragweed based on pictures but when I google ragweed the leaves look different. Can anyone confirm? I’ve been letting it grow to see what the flowers look like to help identify but I’m tired of waiting to see if I should pull it

Horsemint, and the pretty kind, too. Friend.

I think it’s lemon beebalm, aka purple horsemint. https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=moci
I have it in my yard and looks very similar. Close to flowering!
MONARDA 🐝 aka bee balm
Bee Balm! such pretty flowers. tastes like lemon mint. That’s a good one, and they proliferate decently well without taking over.
I can confirm it’s bee balm.
