Goldenrod
Solidago Altissima
Description: Goldenrod is a striking perennial wildflower known for its tall, arching stems covered in clusters of tiny, golden-yellow flowers. Blooming in late summer through fall, it adds a bold splash of color to meadows, borders, and pollinator gardens. Goldenrod is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and essential for supporting native wildlife, making it a must-have for naturalized and eco-friendly landscapes.
Wildlife Benefits: Goldenrod is a critical late-season nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its seeds and foliage also provide food and shelter for birds, caterpillars, and small mammals, making it a cornerstone plant for garden biodiversity.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used in herbal remedies, Goldenrod is valued for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. It has been used to support kidney health, ease seasonal allergies, and reduce inflammation. Goldenrod leaves and flowers can be dried for teas or tinctures.
Native Status: Native to North America, including Georgia, Goldenrod thrives in a variety of soil types and contributes to the health of local ecosystems.
Pollinator Friendliness: Goldenrod is a pollinator powerhouse, supporting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects during the crucial late-season bloom when other nectar sources are scarce.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 2–6 feet
Spacing: 12–24 inches
Sun/Shade: Thrives in Full Sun to Partial Shade
How to Grow: Goldenrod thrives in well-drained soil but tolerates poor or sandy conditions. Water regularly during establishment, but once mature, it is drought-tolerant and easy to maintain. Cut back spent blooms in late fall, or leave them to provide seeds for birds and winter interest.
Bring vibrant color, pollinator support, and ecological value to your garden with Goldenrod—a native treasure that shines in both beauty and function.
Available in 2.5 inch pots, 4.25 inch (quart) pots and gallon pots
