Question
Hello! I've been having a hard time figuring out what this plant is. It's growing in a bed full of rocks by the house, where almost nothing else grows, and at the edge of a flowerbed. I'm in western Massachusetts. I haven't seen any flowers on it yet, which obviously makes it trickier!
Answer
Dear emmettra, good morning. This plant will require flowers to identify as there are several different composite species that have leaves of this shape. It likely belongs to the genus Symphyotrichum (American-aster), but could belong to Eurybia (wood-aster). With flowers, we can tell for certain. Best wishes.
