Golden Fleece Goldenrod (Solidago)

15″ tall x 24″ wide (cutting propagated). This is a superb Dwarf Goldenrod, recently introduced by Dr. Richard Lightly, former director of the Mt. Cuba Center for the Study of Piedmont Flora in Delaware. The sturdy, arching golden-yellow flower stems are profuse and make an eye-catching display wherever they are planted. Pictured here with Aster ‘Purple Dome’ in the background. Like all of the Goldenrods, “Golden Fleece” is very easy to grow in average garden conditions. Contrary to popular belief, Solidago doesn’t cause allergies; its pollen is sticky, not windblown, and is moved from plant to plant by bees.
