Looks to me like Leucoseptrum japonicum 'Mountain Madness' which has gold and yellow splashed foliage.

Variegated goldenrod? Solidago flexicaulis 'Variegata' perhaps?

My vote is also for variegated Solidago. Looks very similar to linked photo.

Hi Mindy! Glad to help figure out your mystery plant ;-) Although, your pic does make me kick myself for not snagging that variegated goldenrod when I saw it at a local plant sale last year, lol!

I like the way it looks but have heard it is invasive. Does this one make runners like 'Fireworks'?

RE: What is this Variegated Rarity?

maniac, i've had it 2 yrs. not invasive for me; had no idea it was.

mindy

ken,thx much for that note,
for the 1st time in 30 yrs, i actually lost interest in the garden for the past while.hence no posting. go figure.
