Solidago nemoralis - Old Field Goldenrod

Goldenrods are the heroes of late season pollinator plants! Because of its short stature, Old Field Goldenrod works well in a perennial garden or a traditional landscape. Look for it to bloom from July  to October, and while it flowers be a landing pad for native bees, honey bees and butterflies.

Old Field Goldenrod prefers full sun to shade and favors drier soils.

Can take two to three growing seasons to fully establish.
