Joe Pye Weed?

16 years ago

I was doing some weeding last week and came across this plant which did not look like any of my usual weeds so I left it. I am wondering if it is Joe Pye Weed since I winter sowed some last year and have no record of what happened to them after they sprouted. Could this be Joe Pye Weed? The stem has a sort of 'fur' on it which makes me think it is just another weed. Anyone know?

I wonder if I should hold on to them. I wintersowed some goldenrods this year and have lots of little babies. Thanks Pitimpinai.
