Expert Response
It looks like Cimicifuga racemosa or Black Cohosh. It is a native plant and often planted because it will bloom in partial sun. It does best in full sun. It has white flowers that bloom from the bottom of the wand-like flower stem upwards. The plant is usually 3-6 ft. tall. The 6 ft. includes the flower stalk. It spreads by division. and rarely seeds.
Thank you for your prompt response!
