Solidago gigantea | giant goldenrod

Solidago are weedy looking US native plants that try a gardeners patience in spring and early summer, yet it is so worth growing them and hanging in for the late summer bloom show.

Giant goldenrod can grow to nearly 7' tall! This giant begins blooming earlier than most of its relatives - sometimes as early as July - and truly provides a feast for pollinators. Grows best on moist soil in full sun.
