Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) is an adaptable perennial native to much of the United States and Canada, known for its vibrant yellow flower clusters that brighten landscapes from late summer into fall. Its upright growth habit and feathery blooms make it a standout in meadows, prairies, and naturalized gardens. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Goldenrod plays a crucial role in supporting pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Its adaptability to various soil types and conditions, along with its low maintenance requirements, make it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to enhance biodiversity and add late-season color to their landscapes.
