My girlfriend planted sunflowers in that pot but something else started growing. We can't identify it. Can you help?

Looks like Urtica.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urtica

Usually grows at the side of roads and in forests in my area.
Should this be it, it's not toxic and can even be brewed as a tea if I am not mistaken.

That post is old lol. But yes, they're nettles or urtica.
