Comments:
This native perennial blooms profusely during the autumn months. This is likely the most common wildflower in the country. It grows virtually over most of the Country. Goldenrods produce prominent bright yellow pyramidal flowers atop tall straight stems that have a sandpaper-like surface texture as do the foliage. Goldenrods tolerate a wide range of growing conditions relating to soils, moisture and sunlight.
