Showy goldenrod's upright panicles of elegant yellow flowers are fantastic for bees and other insects. This is a tough plant that doesn't need any pampering. If grown in rich, fertile soil it can topple over, though cutting it back heavily in June can help prevent that problem.

Uses: Bees, butterflies, historically medicinal

Bloom time: September - October

Height: 24 to 48 inches

Space: 18 to 24 inches

Sun: Full sun to light shade

Moisture: Dry to average

Seed: The small seeds will benefit from exposure to light, so don't bury them. Typically, they need at least 4 - 6 weeks of cold moist stratification to break dormancy and germinate. The following seeding rates will deposit about 30 seeds per square foot.

 

  • 200 seeds per packet
  • 95,000 seeds per ounce
  • 1 ounce per 3,000 square feet
