Have no idea what this is

[MiTmite9]

This is the best photo i can get. It seems like it will get bigger.It is about 1 1/4 ".

OP: Post your pics on r/gardening sub on Reddit. I bet you will get an i.d. super fast. My best guess now = Caryopteris (Bluebeard).

Doesn't sweetspire bloom in spring/summer @MiTmite9 ?

I also briefly considered Caryopteris, but the varieties I grow are rather more shrubby. I've wondered about plants in the mint family, and wonder if there is any scent if those leaves are bruised? I wondered too about the agastaches and salvias.
Like you @MiTmite9 I don't like not knowing the answer
@420benz Have you had a really good dig around for that lost label?

I'm half tempted to post OP's photos on Reddit's r/gardening ------ that's how much this is starting to BUG me. Oh . . . What the heck. Doing it now.

I planted it in the spring and lost the ID tag. It did not bloom.

I posted a couple of your photos on r/gardening in Reddit. I bet someone there will help us i.d. your plant. (Oct. 17, 2023)

Posted on Reddit and will reveal the i.d. as soon as I get it.

Yes But could not find it

 

[Tetters]

OK, is there any scent to the leaves if bruised?

I think you may have one of the Eupatoriums (joe pye weed) there, but no idea which one......last thought.....

I think it is Eupatorium cannabinum.... akaAgue weed, hemp agrimony, St John's herb, Raspberries & cream.

Not a peep about my posting photos of this mystery plant (Reddit). I am flummoxed. Eupatorium cannabinum leaves aren't reddish and the flowers look wrong. OP needs to send pics to local Ag Dept and ask them. Or else to Museum of Natural History botanist.

It should grow taller as it flowers. It reminds me of several other Eupatoriums I grow.

 

[MiTmite9]

I think you nailed it. I sure hope so.

Well we have both worked our socks off to sort this one. I think we share the love of a puzzle!

You did the heavy lifting. Thank you for that. I can sleep well tonight.
