  • Question

    Hello, I am trying to figure out what plant this is. I thought it was broadleaf plaintain, but I am told it isn't. I just don't know. Can you please help? Thank you!!! It is from New England, zone 5.

    Answer

    Dear lillylangtree, I do not know with confidence what your plant is. There are several species that resemble the plant in this image. The leaves look very much like those found in Erigeron annuus (annual fleabane), but I would need to see a later stage to be sure. If you are able to supply images from later in the season, that would be very useful. Best wishes.
