Zigzag Goldenrod - Solidago flexicaulis
Zigzag Goldenrod (Solidago flexicaulis) is a native perennial wildflower found in eastern North America, known for its distinctive zigzag pattern along its stems and its attractive yellow blooms. This shade-tolerant plant thrives in partially shaded to shady woodland areas and moist, well-drained soils.
Growing to heights of about 1 to 3 feet tall, Zigzag Goldenrod features slender, arching stems that bear clusters of small, bright yellow flowers in late summer to early fall. The flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, providing them with a rich source of nectar and pollen.
The leaves of Zigzag Goldenrod are alternate and arranged in a zigzag fashion along the stems, hence its common name. This plant spreads via rhizomes to form loose colonies, making it suitable for naturalized woodland gardens, shaded borders, and woodland edges.
Zigzag Goldenrod is low maintenance once established and adapts well to various soil conditions. It is valued not only for its ornamental value but also for its ecological role in supporting local wildlife and pollinator populations. Its ability to thrive in shaded environments makes it a valuable addition to gardens seeking native plants for shaded areas.
