This is not dill or an asparagus plant. It has grown to 3 ft. in height during the summer. It has now produced a spike of very tiny, round, and white flowers at the end of each stem. The flowers look like unopened buds. Each spike is only about 3 inches long. Any ideas ?

LittleM writes: Thank you everyone! It certainly looks like Eupatorium capillifolium, or also called dog fennel, based on pictures I've seen on the internet. I also see that 'Elegant Feather' is a Proven Selection. Posted: 10:12 pm on November 2nd

It grows fast, has very soft feathery texture. I grew 2 plants in large pots. Over 8 ft tall still looks good in my zone 5 in Mid-late October Posted: 8:16 am on October 21st

Maynooth_Plant_Lover writes: Hi, any idea why I can't get my question and photo of a mystery plant to send through? I want help identifying it, but it won't work. It's similar to a boltonia or aster, however it has dark rich pink flowers on it, unlike the light pink flowers on a boltonia i found via the internet. HELP?? Posted: 7:55 pm on October 14th

dirtyjeans writes: This is dog fennel, not edible as far as I know. Has a rather distinct odor when broken, hard to pull up so get them when they're young. They will grow to about 8 feet. Posted: 7:50 am on September 22nd
DaylilyDreamer writes: This looks like fennel. If you chew the stalks it will kind of taste like a mild licorice. Posted: 9:44 pm on September 21st
