Symphyotrichum lanceolatum aka White Panicle Aster

Symphyotrichum lanceolatum belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae. It is a perennial: it lives for more than two years. It grows wild in North America, as far as northern Mexico. Kew places it in the temperate biome, a mild-climate zone. The RHS gives the same broad native range.

The RHS calls it narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. It lists an older name, Aster lanceolatus Willd., too. Both names refer to the same species. The RHS accepts Symphyotrichum lanceolatum as its current name.
