Can someone help me identify this plant? It grows very, very large ~ 15 feet high and needs to be staked. I was told it's called Red Blazing Star ...but according to the information I see online Blazing star is a purple spiky type of flower! The picture is from my mom's garden....also what is the best way to propagate this?

So i've cut a small branch from this and stuck it in water...hope it roots. If not I will have to wait till next spring and get a baby shoot straight out from the ground!
