What is this plant?

Marianne's Response

It looks like a native weed sometimes called absinthe and a member of the Artemisia family. It is a popular perennial in Europe where it is called wormwood and not really invasive so if you like it, keep it. It could have come from a nearby cottage garden or road side weeds. Part of the fun of gardening is just watching what volunteers. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
