Zig-zag Goldenrod, Solidogo flexicaulis, gets its name from the way the stems grow from leaf to leaf. This Missouri native Goldenrod is home in shade gardens, unlike many of its sister plants. Late summer brings tall stalks with small yellow flowers. Large leaves form into a thick patch that won’t let much else grow through.
Very showy clusters of bright yellow flowers on stiff reddish stems with narrow leaves appear in late summer and fall. A clump forming perennial. The vertical flower clusters go well with rough blazing stars, New England aster, and other tall species.
Contrary to popular belief, Goldenrods are not responsible for hay fever. They are an important food source for many native pollinators.
Plant in shade to part shade. Keep well watered until established and during dry spells.
