Solidago canadensis
Canada Goldenrod

  • A rapidly spreading native plant that doesn’t always behave well in the garden

  • Reaches 5 feet tall and wide on sturdy, unbranched stems.

  • Grows well in a variety of conditions.

  • Large yellow flowers in fall are a highly nutritious food source for pollinators.  

  • Horticulturist’s Notes: Prune goldenrod stems down to half height in late spring to create shorter, more manageable plants.
