Plant ID Help?

11 years ago

Hello all. :)

I hope it isn't too annoying to ask for your help in this way. My boss just purchased a new house and can't identify this plant in her yard. She came to me because I'm a plant nerd, but unfortunately fairly garden-illiterate. Still, I told her she could put her faith in the experts at GW, and here we are, at your mercy!

Thank you for any insight you can provide!
