With tall, swaying stems topped by bright yellow, drooping-petaled flowers and a green cone, Golden Glow brings a wild, sunny presence to shade gardens. It grows 4–9 feet tall, with deeply cut foliage that adds texture.

Prefers part shade to full shade and moist to average soils, but is surprisingly tolerant of dry conditions once established. Low-maintenance and adaptable to woodland settings.

Spreads by rhizomes to form loose, upright colonies—perfect for naturalizing in shaded borders or light woodlands. Tall stems may benefit from support in windy or exposed spots.

Native to eastern and central North America, especially in moist woods, thickets, and along shaded slopes.

Foliage emerges lush and green in spring, with tall flower stalks and golden blooms from midsummer into early fall. Seed heads persist into winter, offering texture and wildlife value.

A valuable nectar source for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Seeds attract birds in fall, and dense growth provides shelter for small woodland creatures.
