Missouri Goldenrod

Missouri Goldenrod is a hardy and drought-resistant perennial that adds a burst of color to the landscape with its dense, golden yellow flower spikes. Reaching up to 2 feet in height, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for prairie gardens, wildflower meadows, and naturalized borders. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, playing a crucial role in supporting biodiversity later in the warm season. The plant's ability to thrive in poor soil and its resistance to pests and diseases make it a low-maintenance option for gardeners looking to add resilience and beauty to their outdoor spaces.

• Drought-tolerant once established; water occasionally during very dry periods.
• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering and prevent excessive self-seeding.
• Prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soils but can adapt to light clay if drainage is adequate.
• Divide clumps every 3-4 years in the spring to maintain plant health and vigor.
• Minimal care required; monitor occasionally for rust or leaf spots and manage as needed.
