About Solidago caesia L.
Solidago caesia L. can be identified by its key features: a dark, wiry blue or purple stem, and flower heads that grow in leaf axils rather than forming a large cluster at the top of the plant. This species prefers medium to partial shade, and is most often found growing in wooded areas. Its distribution covers central and eastern North America, ranging from Manitoba east to New Brunswick, and extending south to Florida and eastern Texas.
