Solidago speciosa
Showy Goldenrod
Any qualms one might have about using Goldenrods as eye-catching ornamental features in the formal garden are sure to be squashed once they lay eyes on Solidago speciosa! Rightfully called Showy Goldenrod, this prolific bloomer exhibits upright, densely-packed inflorescences composed of tiny, individual yellow flowers that appear on reddish stems a bit later in the season than its family members. Ranging from a soft, pale yellow to a warm, golden yellow, the flowers begin to appear in early September and bloom well into November, providing nectar to lingering late season pollinators. Unlike other Goldenrods, Solidago speciosa maintains a tidy habit, spreading less aggressively and acting more as a polite ornamental than a naturalizing native - perfect for the foundation garden or small home landscape! Showy Goldenrod is best grown in average, well-draining soils and full sun, and can tolerate periods of drought as well as sites with deer pressure.
