Solidago 'Hiddigeigei' is a stunning goldenrod, grown for its screaming yellow foliage as it emerges in early spring. This form was discovered in a garden in Berlin, and was introduced and named by Christian Kress of Sarastro Nursery after a bright-eyed tomcat in a Viktor von Scheffel novel. The foliage on this tight clumper ages to green with the onset of warm weather. Solidago 'Hiddigeigei' has behaved exceptionally well in our garden trials, forming a tight clump with no seeding. So far, we have been unable to assign this to any species. This is truly a Goldenrod with two capital G's.
