Zigzag Goldenrod lights up shady spaces with brilliant golden blooms, a distinctive zigzag stem, and vital support for pollinators in late summer and fall. This bold woodland perennial earns its name from the way its stem zigzags between alternating leaves, creating a structural rhythm that’s as striking as it is functional. In late summer to early fall, clusters of bright yellow flower heads appear at the leaf axils, creating a cascading glow of color along the stems. Its upright, slightly arching form makes it a standout in shady plantings—especially when paired with ferns, asters, or woodland sedges.
