Definately Not a weed, Tina. What you have is Woodruff, sometimes called Sweet Woodruff because of it's fragrance. I have tried to grow it a few times and never had any luck.

Oh Tina, how lucky you are to have Sweet Woodruff pop up in your garden! I've been wanting to get some for a long time.

I am indeed very lucky. Never knew this was such a good plant - but it is in a very dark and shaded area mostly hidden under the rhodos.
Thanks so much for identifying it.Any tips on how to take care of these?
