Solidago speciosa

Showy Goldenrod is a lovely tall goldenrod to act as a structural or backbone plant in your garden and is quite well-behaved slowly spreading in clumps, not aggressively by rhizomes as some of its family members may. Classic goldenrod yellow flowers are shown off in plumes of vibrant yellow for late season interest.

The Solidago species are a keystone species and valuable host plants for over 100 species of moths and caterpillars, as well as providing pollen and nectar for approximately 30 species of specialist bees.
