Rough-stem goldenrod
Solidago rugosa
Rough-stem goldenrod is a tough, low-maintenance native perennial that thrives in average garden soil with part shade to full sun. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as the plant is relatively self-sufficient once settled. It spreads by rhizomes, so divide clumps every few years to keep it contained and vigorous.
