These are about 5 feet tall, around the same height as my ox-eye daisies.
They have fairly thick hairy stems

    One of the willow herbs I'd guess

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

    I have plenty of willowherbs in my garden, but these are very different.  They are much taller and sturdier than the two or three different varieties of willowherb I have.

    Wikipedia lists almost 200 species of willowherb!

    Sounds like you have a few varieties already @gutties maybe you could host the National Collection of Willowherbs?
