Peach sucker or weed?

I dug this little guy up from around my Red Haven peach tree earlier this summer. I thought it was a sucker from the tree, but now I am second guessing myself. Can anyone confirm if this is a peach or something else? Google image search tells me it is “Lemon Basil”. I’m hoping it’s a peach so I can graft it next spring.

I don’t see any woody tissue so I don’t think it’s any kind of tree
Edit: it’s about to bloom on top, definitely not a tree of any kind

Top doesn’t look like peach

Weed. If it’s basil, it would have a smell if you rub the leaves.

I would say it’s a weed not a peach sucker.

Running Google Lens on the middle image posted they indicated that it is likely a sage plant.

Looks like a young type of sunflower to me.

Peaches grow leaves in alternating pattern along their stems. The plant pictured has leaves in opposite pairs. You can 100% rule out it being any stone fruit.

Looks like an epilobium or willow herb. Hard to tell which one untill it flowers. They are a common weed and like disturbed ground and spread by wind.
