I was new to gardening last year, and spent most my time trying to repair the plants I had loved almost to death, one of them was an Astilbe. I babied it for the rest of the season but it never seemed to recover. Now in the same spot the astilbe was I see something growing. Could someone look at the pic I've provided and let me know if this a weed, a possible astilbe, or something totally different.
Thank you,
