Question
I saw this plant in Green Mountain National forest where there were old homesteads years ago. Looks like a naturalized hydrangea to me, but not sure. Is there a native plant this might be instead? Thanks
Answer
Dear c.chalmers, the plant in your photographs is Ageratina altissima (white snakeroot), a member of the aster family that is frequently found in moist soils of deciduous forests. This is a native species. Best wishes.
