    Answer

    Dear Ziomekszuszka, good afternoon. It appears this plant is cultivated. If so, I likely will not be able to assist you. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. If this has been brought into cultivation from the wild, please send a couple of images when it gets larger and/or flowers. I may be able to assist then. Best wishes.
