Wild flower or weed?
I have a fall-flowering perennial or weed (pictures below). Pretty, but invasive. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Terry

Yes it could be big leaf aster:

It couldn't be hyssop or false nettle, which have flower spikes.
Wildflower or weed is pretty much in the eye of the beholder. On my native plant hillside, I have white snake root that spreads rampantly. I pull a ton of it off the hillside to keep it from choking out other stuff, but leave some, since it is a wildflower. When it appears in my regular flower beds in the rest of the yard, I decide it has crossed the line from wildflower to weed, and pull all of it from the flower bed.

Thanks to all!
Large leaf aster seems to be a good fit. This is in a shady, clay and root-filled garden that competes with a lot of maple trees. I am perfectly OK with wild flowers duking it out for supremacy in this particular garden, so I think I will keep it as is. Coaching football and gardening after a long day of teaching is a lot of fun and I appreciate all of the help for an inexperienced gardener in this forum
Cheers,
Terry
