100 Old Field Goldenrod Seeds Solidago nemoralis Wildflower Pollinator Garden
Old Field Goldenrod is a compact native perennial wildflower known for its arching sprays of bright yellow blooms that light up late-season gardens. It brings a warm, meadow-like feel to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas, and its dense flower clusters are a favorite of bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects.
This adaptable wildflower works well in pollinator plantings, wildflower meadows, prairie restorations, and low-maintenance landscape beds. Plants form tidy clumps of gray-green foliage and bloom from late summer into fall, adding vertical interest and long-lasting color. Seed can be sown directly in prepared ground or started indoors for transplanting.
