With arching stems and clusters of yellow flowers, this goldenrod species grows in both sun and shade, but is particularly lovely when grown in woodland settings, brightening up shady corners. It is not an aggressive spreader like cousins Canada and tall goldenrod, which can be seen spreading through meadows.
Ecological Importance: All goldenrod species are incredibly important for biodiversity, hosting dozens of pollen specialist bees and the larvae of countless butterfly and moth species, which in turn support the diet of young birds.
*Goldenrods are not responsible for fall allergies! Ragweed is actually the culprit - the two were confused in common memory because they bloom at the same time.
Sun Exposure: Sun, Partial Shade, Shade
Soil Moisture: Medium-Dry, Dry
Height: 2-3 ft
Bloom Time: Fall
Bloom Colour: Yellow
