Rocky Mountain Dwarf Goldenrod (Solidago multiradiata) brings late-summer cheer to high-elevation gardens with its golden-yellow blooms and compact, tidy form. This native perennial is tough as they come—naturally adapted to mountain meadows and dry, rocky soils. Its sunny flower clusters add a bright, uplifting color just as other blooms are fading, and its nectar-rich blossoms are a favorite of bees and butterflies alike.
Despite its rugged background, this goldenrod fits beautifully into cultivated landscapes. It’s low-maintenance, fast to establish, and plays well in native plantings, wildflower meadows, or even as a cheery border accent. With excellent drought tolerance and resistance to browsing deer, it's a reliable choice for gardeners looking to support pollinators without sacrificing beauty or durability.
