| Design Ideas | Goldenrod is an outstanding plant offering valuable late season color in the perennial border. It’s also equally at home in wild gardens or in a prairie setting with grasses and wildflowers. The natives were brought into cottage and country gardens early on for their vivid color. Spot into fence line beds, planting islands in the lawn and foundation beds for front and back yard. Even works well in some rock garden settings and bright sunny spots in gaps of woodlands. |

| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium); Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia): Coneflower (Echinacea); Bee Balm (Monarda); Blazing Star (Liatris spicata) |
| Care Instructions | Provide lean to average, well-drained soil. Plant in an area with good air circulation; do not overcrowd. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; prefers regular water, but tolerates moderate drought. Feed in early spring. Seldom requires staking. |
| History | Goldenrod is classified into the Aster family and is eastern America’s most common wildflower although some European species were introduced in colonial times. It is the larval food plant of some Lepidoptera butterfly species so it is vital to wildlife habitat. |
