Spot into fence line beds, planting islands in the lawn and foundation beds for front and back yard. Even works well in some rock garden settings and bright sunny spots in gaps of woodlands. |

Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; prefers regular water, but tolerates moderate drought. Feed in early spring. Seldom requires staking. |
| History | Goldenrod is classified into the Aster family and is eastern America's most common wildflower although some European species were introduced in colonial times. It is the larval food plant of some Lepidoptera butterfly species so it is vital to wildlife habitat. |
