General Information
Solidago has gotten a hayfever reputation because it blooms at the same time as Ragweed - Goldenrod does not aggravate hayfever! These warm yellow blossoms provide fresh blooms in the difficult late summer/early fall time slot, and provide a great backdrop for mums and other late bloomers.

Plant Care
For compact plants, cut back by 1/2 in June, or pinch back in May, this may delay bloom time. Provides winter interest, but can be cut down to prevent over seeding.
