  • Question

    I don't have any pictures unfortunately, but a question: does Solidago canadensis exhibit purple color along its stem? Not the whole stem, usually, but at some points is it common for S. canadensis to have purplish color? Or is this another species of Solidago?

    Answer

    SunnyMona, good morning. Various species of goldendrod do sometimes show purple coloration at different locations on the stem. Unfortunately, without an image, I can't help you to confirm what species you have. If you are able to acquire one, feel free to post it. Best wishes.
