Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! It was definitely herbacious. Yeah. Would be nice if the names didn't change but I understand they need to sometime.

Do you remember if this was a shrub or herbaceous?

Another they have switched up on you NatralList, it is now Ageratina altissima. I sometimes feel I should subscribe to a couple botanical publications just to keep up.
