Solidago bicolor, with several common names including White goldenrod , silverrod and (in Québec) verge d’or bicolore, is a plant species native to much of eastern North America.[3][1] It prefers sandy and rocky soils, and can frequently be found along roadsides.

Solidago bicolor is distinctive in the genus. Stems are thin and wiry. Flowers are white, the heads mostly clustered in the axils of the leaves rather than displayed in a large terminal raceme.[1]
