    Good evening & thank you for helping me previously identify several plants. I have another one. Could this be Joe Pye Weed? I'm not sure, but are the leaves too wide to be this plant? No blossoms yet.

    Answer

    Dear Lisabailey, Your plant appears to be Perilla frutescens (perilla-mint), a member of the Lamiaceae. It is commonly cultivated and sometimes escapes in New England.
