Shade-tolerant, Solidago caesia (Wreath Goldenrod) is a herbaceous perennial wildflower forming a clump of arching, blue-green stems clad with lance-shaped, toothed, medium to dark green leaves, 2-5 in. long (5-12 cm). Blooming for about one month in late summer to fall, the plant bears loose clusters of 1-12 tiny, bright yellow flowers in the leaf axils along the length of the stems, as well as a large terminal cluster. Attractive to birds, butterflies, hummingbirds and a wide variety of insects, especially short-tongued bees, wasps, and flies, Wreath Goldenrod provides a bold splash of color in the late season garden. Easy to grow, low care and trouble free, this goldenrod species is less aggressive than the tall goldenrods. It is a good choice for a wildflower meadow, cottage garden or an open woodland garden.
