Re: Need ID
It may be a weed, but I would check first to make sure it's not Tarragon or Rosemary, or another similar herb. *Altho it looks pretty leggy for either.* So crush a couple of the leaves in yr fingers and smell it. If it's got a strong scent, it may be an herb.
Even if it is a weed, it's probably not poisonous. So touch yr tongue to the crushed leaves to see if u can identify the taste.
If it was elsewhere, I would bet on pulling it. But on the edge of a perennial border??? I'd check it out for a while rather than weeding it.

Re: Need ID
Thanks countryboy, I know its not Rosemary and I have never grown Tarragon. I crushed some leaves , there is no fragrance at all. The same plant is growing in another garden but its more bushy and at least 2 ft. tall. I had a white Gaura in this garden that didn't come back in spring. The mystry plant is about 2 ft from were the gaura was. I was hoping that the Gaura re-seeded but the buds do not look like Gaura.
I am very puzzled,sigh.
We have a Garden Tour on July 14th. maybe I will just leave the plant and hope somebody can ID it.
Here is a pic of the plant in the other Garden . The white tufts are on the plant , the pink is another plant.
