I have a perennial with large leathery leaves that feel like lambs ear. The plant doubled in size to about 5 feet and has produced a spire. The plant is about 3 foot diameter at the base. A line of small yellow flowers spiral up, following a counter-clockwise pattern. The flowers do not have a strong smell, although the odor is unique. The neighbors are asking about the plant ID. I don't know what it is either, but I like it and no deer or insect will eat it. The only care I gave it was keeping it weeded. Zone 7.
