Notes:

This is some sort of non-flowering annual, I’m guessing 🙂 It drops seeds after turning a deep red in the fall, then dies. It can reach around 4 ft (if not too crowded w/other plants nearby) with several branches spreading out during rainfall…..beautiful! I know it’s not Dog Fennel or Cosmos (sp?), but I can’t find it online in any database and non of my gardening neighbors know what it is —-but everyone asks me about it and wants some new sprouts each spring. Can anyone help? Is it a weed?

    I don’t think so. I checked out a few other photos and it doesn’t match. It’s close, though.
