Showy Goldenrod

Showy Goldenrod (Solidago speciosa) more than lives up to its name—this stunning native perennial produces dense spikes of brilliant golden-yellow flowers that light up the garden in late summer and fall. This 32-plant pack is a pollinator favorite and a must-have for gardeners looking to extend bloom time and support wildlife late in the season.

Unlike some of its more aggressive cousins, Showy Goldenrod stays tidy and upright, making it suitable for both formal and naturalistic plantings. Its flowers are a magnet for native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, many of whom rely on goldenrods for nectar and as host plants for their caterpillars. In fact, goldenrods support more specialist pollinators than any other group of wildflowers in North America.
