HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Showy Goldenrod seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.

Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant prefers rather dry soil, and established plants tolerate drought well. This plant will self-sow. This plant attracts bees.

Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.

Seed Saving: As the blooming fades, the plumes will turn from yellow to white as they develop the seed. The Solidago Speciosa seed can easily fly away on the wind because of its white fluff, and should be gathered as soon as possible. Strip the seed from the stems, and remove as much plant material as possible. Store the Showy Goldenrod seeds in a cool, dry place.

Quality seed!

I can always depend on Everwilde seed to sprout under the correct conditions! I have been a long time customer and trust that Everwilde will have my spring garden ready for next year to enjoy. Goldenrod seeds give a seasonal fall look to my garden and they do not give me allergies , even though I do suffer from seasonal allergies. I like seeing the insects harvest the pollen from them. Buy a packet to spread in your community today!

DESCRIPTION

Of course this is the showiest Goldenrod! Not only does it have masses of yellow blooms, but it also is taller than most of the other species. This perennial makes a tremendous late-season pollen source for honeybees and is also known for its medicinal qualities.
Contrary to popular belief, this plant does not cause summer hay fever but simply happens to bloom at the same time as ragweed. Native Americans and early settlers often used this plant for healing purposes, as well as creating a strong yellow dye from its blossoms. Because of its common availability, inventor Thomas Edison harvested the natural rubber in the leaves of the plant to create an acceptable substitute for synthetic rubber. The genus name "Solidago" comes from the Latin words for "to make whole," referring to the plant's medicinal properties.
