Hardy Perennial. Undemanding, long-lived and pest-free, the goldenrod is a cheerful addition to the perennial garden. Mistakenly blamed for hayfever, the goldenrod makes an excellent cut flower or will naturalize in a meadow. Tolerates dry or wet conditions and will grow in just about any type of soil. A natural companion planting is Liatris spicata as they bloom simultaneously in the wild. Additionally, in cool climates, Goldenrod appears with Lysimachia clethroides and Eupatorium augustifolium for a breathtaking combination of wildflowers. Divide every four years. Garden varieties offer many shades of yellow to choose from. 'Little Mosa' is the variety pictured.
