No photo, sorry. There are lots of these plants in an overgrown wildflower garden and not currently in bloom.
Herbaceous perennial. Root: rhizome. Stem: 2-3', unbranched, green, non-glossy, round, tiny white hairs. Leaves: simple, elliptical, alternate, 2.5 - 3.0 long by <.5", shallow notches.
It's not in bloom now, but the plant looks like a bit like garden phlox in shape, except that it does not have a tap root and the leaves are slightly notched and alternate instead of opposite, with more parallel than branched veins. Leaves are also a bit narrower than garden phlox.
I don't know what the blooms look like and there are no buds right now or any old flower or seed pods.
I'm in Minnesota, and am trying to clean up this old wildflower garden, but don't want to pull something that would flower later.
TIA for your help.
