A well-behaved woodland species, it gets its name from the way that its stems "zig zag" from leaf to leaf. Zig Zag goldenrod can be an aggressive spreader - not ideal for small gardens. It’s hard to express just how important goldenrods are on the landscape. Including them on your property will provide ecosystem services well into the fall when most other plant life is shutting down.
Native to Maine
Part to full shade
Medium soils
Grows up to 3' tall
Blooms August - October
Herbaceous perennial
