Could be E. capillifolium (Dog fennel), I suppose. Doesn't look exactly
right, but,...maybe. The top of the plant of dog fennel seems tapered
whereas this plant looks more cylindrical. May have to wait until it
blooms.

I've been waiting for a flower - but have waited and waited and waited.


You might look among the Eupatoriums. Several have this fine foliage
and won't be flowering until fall (small, dirty-white flowers.)
