A shorter golden rod that was introduced by the Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware. Features tons of the classic golden rod yellow flower spikes paired with attractive round leaves. Arching spikes of flowers are pollinator magnets! Golden rod is a great late season food source for butterflies, bees, and moths. Usually blooms from late August through October. When not in flower that basal rosette of foliage makes a nice ground cover and tends to be semi evergreen in winter. Spreads slower than other Golden rods by seed and rhizomes. In the top 5 of the Chicago Botanic Gardens golden rod trials.
