Solidago odora
Sweet goldenrod, so named for its glossy, anise-scented leaves, is easily grown in just about any conditions, preferring full sun and dry, sandy, soil. Plumes of small, yellow flowers sit atop tall downy stems ranging from 2-4 feet tall.
A favorite of bees and butterflies, these late summer blooms help support native pollinators preparing for the long winter. Goldenrod gets a bad rep for being mistaken as a main allergen, but this is not true! Goldenrods do not cause hay fever, this is caused by the look-a-like ragweed. In fact, goldenrod leaves have traditionally been used in herbal medicine to treat a wide variety of ailments.
