This goldenrod species prefers full-

sun, but can tolerate partial shade in soil ranging from dry to medium. Water during dry spells in its first season. Once it establishes, it is tolerant to droughts.

Grows upright with an open, bushy form providing vertical interest. When happy, it spreads slowly by rhizomes forming a colony overtime. While it also self seeds, it can be easily thinned and transplanted making it perfect choice for naturalized areas, pollinator gardens, or meadows.

Range spans across most of the eastern US where it can be commonly found growing in meadows, upland areas, and along roadsides.

Slender leaves form in mid-late spring with plant reaching full height in the middle of summer. Buds form and pop in late summer through early fall. As the season fades, seedheads form, staying through winter.

Provides abundant nectar and pollen to pollinators when food-sources are limited late in the season. Supports a suite of beneficial insects, including predators that help control garden pests.
