Looks like milkweed. Break a leaf, if it oozes a thick white goo, it's milkweed. It is also the only plant eaten by monarch butterfly caterpillars, and you'll often find their chysalises hanging on them... a light jade green orb-like coccoon ringed under the top with a single strand of black & gold flecks.
