Seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens)

Seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) is a robust flowering plant found in coastal areas such as beaches, dunes, and salt marshes. It produces striking yellow flower clusters. The plant's thick, waxy leaves are a key adaptation, helping it to resist dehydration caused by salt spray in its habitat. These characteristics enable seaside goldenrod to thrive in the challenging conditions of coastal ecosystems.
