Solidago graminifolia
Fine-leaved Goldenrod |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.494.150
This is one of our native North American wildflowers, adapting readily to borders or meadow gardens. Plants make an upright, spreading clump of feathery green leaves, bearing many small clusters of bright yellow flowers in late summer and fall. This species is terrific for cutting. Like all Golden Rods, the flowers do not cause allergies. Clumps have a spreading tendency and may need to be thinned every year or two in early spring. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
