Planted a few New England Asters last fall and this is growing out of the exact same spot (you can see the stems from the aster).

It doesn’t look like an aster. Google says it’s mugwort.

Zone 7b southern NJ.

    It is mugwort. Pull it now and keep watching. Chances it is a new seedling if you had none last year

    These are popping up everywhere in my 7b garden in Philadelphia too.

    Mugwort. Been fighting these bastards for 5 or so years. Can’t win. Good luck.
