There are some shade tolerant goldenrods.

This one is blue-stem or wreath goldenrod, Solidago caesia. This perennial grows to about 3 feet tall but the stems usually arch away from the center so it may not even be that tall; growth habit is clumping so this is very well behaved. Small clusters of flowerheads form in the leaf axils instead of in terminal clusters like many of the other goldenrods, a good way to help identify this one. Stems may turn bluish or purplish in color over time. A beautiful late-season perennial to add color and insect support to your garden. . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia #gonative #spring
