Goldenrod Summer Showers Organic Seed

Solidago canadensis

Item #2023

Every butterfly and songbird garden should include goldenrod! In the fall, it provides sustenance for butterflies, bees, and birds. Its gorgeous shower of golden sprays is home for other beneficial insects such as the praying mantis and goldenrod spider. For a striking contrast, try growing it with purple flowering plants such as Russian sage, asters, mums, and ornamental grasses. (Often mistakenly blamed for seasonal allergies because it blooms at the same time as ragweed, but its pollen is too heavy to be airborne.)
Deer resistant.
