A Pollinator Favorite
Golden yellow flower spikes dart horizontally, radiating to form an explosion of late-season color. Solidago Fireworks supports both butterflies and bees. Birds also love the seeds! Happy in all soil conditions, this US native is equally at home in cottage gardens, mixed borders, or meadow gardens.

Solidago General Information

Solidago are perfect for providing fresh blooms in the difficult late summer/early fall time slot and provide a great backdrop for mums and other late bloomers. It has gotten a hayfever reputation because it blooms at the same time as Ragweed - Goldenrod does not aggravate hayfever! Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Solidago Plant Care

Avoid overly rich soils. For more compact plants, cut back by half in June or pinch back in May. This will also increase branching and bushiness. Can be divided every 2 - 3 years in spring. Spent flower stalks provide winter interest, but can be cut down pretty much anytime.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
