Don’t think goldenrod is for you? It’s time to take another look at these late-season beauties!
.
– Deer resistant.
– Tolerates drought and poor soils.
– Great for cutting.
– Don’t bother fertilizing; they will do just fine without it. Feeding will only lead to floppy growth and fewer flowers.
– Goldenrod is rarely troubled by insects or diseases, but the foliage is susceptible to powdery mildew and rust, both of which can be minimized by growing plants in full sun and providing ample space between them to improve air circulation.
– Goldenrods have a long bloom period, typically flourishing from late summer to mid-fall. Some cultivars, such as Solidago rugosa ‘Fireworks’, will continue to flower until the first frost.
– Contrary to common belief, goldenrod does not contribute to hay fever or allergy symptoms because the pollen is too sticky to go airborne.
