Rough-stemmed Goldenrod has sprays of arching yellow flowers that is clump-forming so would need space to grow. It is not recommended for a small garden. While it tolerates medium soil moisture, it does prefer more consistent moisture. As with all goldenrods, it is a nectar and pollen magnet for a variety of pollinators.
