Faits intéressants
Stiff Goldenrod has larger, flatter flower clusters than most goldenrods. In a home garden this plant spreads slowly. It is not picky as to the type of soil it grows in, which can range from hard clay to dry sand. In the fall the greenish-yellow leaves can turn to shades of red, adding interest to your garden. As with all goldenrods, it is a nectar and pollen magnet for a variety of pollinators.
