( sol - id - DAY - goh )
At-A-Glance InformationCommonly called Goldenrod, this genus of perennial flowering plants needs full sun to light shade and moderate water. Their flowers will attract birds and butterflies to your yard. They are native to the Eastern regions of the United States, and bloom from the middle of summer through fall. Flowers form in branched clusters and are yellow; leaves are green. They are easy-care plants and thrive in semi-poor soils. Goldenrod is perfect for informal border plantings or for naturalizing in meadow landscapes.
