700 Stiff Goldenrod Seeds Oligoneuron rigidum Native Yellow Wildflower Prairie Perennial Pollinator Garden
Stiff Goldenrod is a hardy North American native perennial prized for its upright, unbranched stems and large flat-topped clusters of bright yellow flowers that bloom in late summer into autumn. It brings tall, structural color to prairies, meadow plantings, and mixed borders, and its late-season bloom makes it a standout in naturalistic and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
Use Stiff Goldenrod in meadow gardens, wildflower plantings, cottage borders, and native restoration areas. The dense flower clusters provide a bold vertical accent, while the seed heads persist into winter for continued visual interest. It pairs well with other prairie perennials and ornamental grasses and can be used in cut-flower arrangements. Plants establish readily from seed and form tidy clumps over time.
