Blue Stemmed Goldenrod is a distinctive Great Lakes native prized for its beautiful arching clusters of golden-yellow flowers and its characteristic blue-green stems that give the plant its common name. Unlike many goldenrods that demand full sun, this species thrives in partial to full shade, making it an invaluable native perennial for woodland edges and shaded borders. Blooming in fall when the garden needs color most, it provides an exceptional late-season resource for butterflies, bees, and seed-seeking birds. Growing 24 to 36 inches, it naturalizes reliably and is resistant to deer, rabbits, and disease. Juglone tolerant and very low maintenance once established.
