Stiff Goldenrod (Solidago rigida)

Description: This plant has bright yellow-gold flowers and grows to be 2 to 4 feet tall. It prefers dry to mesic conditions, and is too aggressive for small areas. Stiff Goldenrod often invades abandoned fields. It needs a lot of competition to keep it in check.

Planting: Sow unstratified seed in the fall and stratified seed in the spring. One-year old transplants can be used in the fall or spring.
