Question
Hi! I'm a master gardener intern in RI and have been stumped trying to id this plant. It popped up in a perennial garden. It has single red stems with opposite serrated leaves and a red central vein (about halfway down). The leaves have a very fine red edge. It is past bloom and I don't know what the flowers looked like but they were in small clusters. I have been researching Eupatorium, E. perfoliatum, Ageratum as well as milkweed, dogbane and countless others. Thanks for any help you can give!
Answer
Kvincent1221, Diervilla lonicera (bush-honeysuckle), as you've already figured out. Best wishes.
