Canada goldenrod is a vigorous native perennial celebrated for its bright yellow flower plumes that light up late-summer and autumn gardens while supporting dozens of pollinator species. It is extremely adaptable, tolerating a wide range of soil types and conditions, and establishes quickly with minimal intervention. Divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding and maintain vigorous flowering.
