Inflorescence in bloom. Solidago canadensis, known as Canada goldenrod or Canadian goldenrod, is an herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae. [2] It is native to northeastern and north-central North America [3] and often forms colonies of upright growing plants, with many small yellow flowers in a branching inflorescence held above the foliage.
The leaves are located along the stem, not in a rosette near the ground. One plant can produce as many as 1500 small yellow flower heads in a large conical array. The involucres of the main subspecies (S. a. subsp. altissima) are usually 3–4 millimeters, whereas those of S. a. subsp. gilvocanescens are usually 2–3 mm. [6]
The goldenrod is the state flower of the U.S. states of Kentucky (adopted 1926) and Nebraska (adopted 1895). Solidago altissima, tall goldenrod, was named the state wildflower of South Carolina in 2003. [49] The sweet goldenrod (Solidago odora) is the state herb of Delaware. [50]
