Description
Solidago rugosa is a late-blooming, showy perennial which provides much needed nectar to pollinators, allowing them to sustain the winter months. Apart from it’s important uses for pollinators, it’s a beautiful addition to any native landscape with it’s brightly colored swooping flowers. It’s a very low maintenance and vigorously growing plant, and you could even consider dividing it every 2-3 years to control growth. Goldenrod has been associated with many medicinal uses, such as treating inflammation and joint pain; and often gets blamed for fall allergies, though the real culprit is ragweed! Solidago rugosa provides great color and texture to gardens, at a time of year when there may otherwise not be much blooming.
