What is this plant beside the Perovksia? The smell is a bit minty.

Thanks!

Also, it's on an open area, full sun. There were no big trees beside it. It's a forest preserve. So I don't think someone is watering it, just nature. Ok, I will search for Elderberry. I was thinking of purchasing one but I'm worried that it might be invasive! Like what I said above, I saw them in large groups this morning. Are they invasive? Also, the fragrance is totally different from lilac. I saw a description earlier on the web and it mentions that the fragrance is similar to lilac. I quite disagree with the article I saw. I can say that it was somewhat similar to the fragrance of Dama de Noche but much more sweeter like a candy.

The pic looks very much like Rudbeckia hirta, and the white tips to the petals is drought stress. This happens on all Rudbeckia species I've grown when they get too dry. Cherry Brandy at the Ball trial gardens was very consistent. The one plant I have is much like the marketing pics. Darker, but still very nice. It is a seed strain however (like all R. hirta varieties that I know of) and some variability is likely. I'll see if I have a pic when I get home.

Mone, it's not mine. It's a public garden at Algonquin Park. :)

I asked because I harvested some seeds. Hopefully, they are very easy to winter sow.

If it's catmint, I have this plant then at the back which I bought late spring.

Thanks everyone for the id! :D

I was about to say ... "Hey, where'd that wall come from?" LOL. Never noticed it in any of your pictures before!

It's definitely a catmint, quite possibly Walker's Low, but not a guaranteed id on the cultivar. I guess it to be WL only because it seems to be a popular catmint, and looks to be of its size. I haven't winter sowed it before, but since catmints have a tendency to run rampant, I have no doubt it would be easy to grow its seed.

Catmints are so easy to start by nibbling out a small portion from existing plants, or by layering that starting from seed hardly seems worth the trouble. Or the wait for the plant to get some size.
