blue stem goldenrod
Solidago caesia
Overview
The blue stem goldenrod (Solidago caesia) is a striking species of wildflower native to North America. Its striking flower heads boast a bright gold color contrasted against vivid blue stems that look almost metallic. These plants thrive in woodlands, meadows, and other open, sunny areas, preferring sandy soils with good drainage. Though they bloom for a relatively short period in the late summer and early fall, their golden petals cheer any landscape with a touch of sunshine. Enjoy their beauty while you can, as the blue stem goldenrod's intense beauty is short-lived.
