My Pineapple sage overwinters outside in its container, I hasn't bloomed though so maybe I'll put it on my unheated porch and see if I can get it an early start next Spring.

Like SSG, I too love Goldenrods! Here are some pics of the solidagos I have in my garden areas.

1 Little Lemon (12-24 inches) and noid wild (6' plus) These have an end plume bloom

2 Three varieties that bloom all along their unbranched stems

3 'Fire Works' branched stems with long spears of flowers at end, some as long as 18 inches. Grows 3-4 foot x 3-4.

4 caesia...grows well and blooms in even part shade conditions for me, Great at woods or bed edge. Leaves have stayed really dark green.

5 All together.
