How to grow goldenrod – for a native prairie plant with nectar-rich flower spikes

Goldenrod blooms with a bee during the summer months.

Goldenrod, scientifically known as Solidago spp., are striking perennials that bring a burst of golden color wherever they are planted. If you are looking for hardy wildflowers to entice plenty of pollinators to your plot this year, learning how to grow goldenrod is a good idea.

There are over 100 different species of Solidago, and most are native to North America. One of the most prevalent is the Canada goldenrod, Solidago canadensis, as seen in the image above. This tough species grows in a vast number of habitats and terrains, including prairies and meadows, although it can also be used to great effect in garden borders.
