Solidago caesia, commonly called Blue-Stemmed Goldenrod or Wreath Goldenrod, is a native woodland perennial which occurs in forests, woodland borders and drier stream edges. It typically grows 1.5-3' tall on arching, glabrous, wiry, greenish-purple stems which are covered with a silvery-white waxy bloom that can be rubbed off.
Small, graceful, arching sprays of tiny, yellow flowers top the perennial. Other goldenrods with scattered flower clusters include the Wand-like Goldenrod , found in sandy sites from New Jersey southward, with a wand-like flowerstalk and narrow scale-like leaves pressed against the stem.
