SOLIDAGO flexicaulis 'Variegata'
|
Description: By nature a woodland species, this is a good selection for semi-shaded areas with its wide, yellow splashed foliage but will also do fine in full sun. A distinguishing feature of zigzag goldenrod is that the typical yellow flowers are in the leaf axils — a group emerges just above each leaf on the upper part of the stem. In most other goldenrods, the flowers occur at the ends of the stems. Sometimes the stem zig zags from leaf to leaf. Stays in a good-natured clump and doesn’t run like many other species. It blooms from early September to mid-October. The species is native to most of the
eastern half of the US. Goldenrod pollen is too heavy to become airborne so it does NOT cause allergies.
