Gray goldenrod is a tough, adaptable native perennial that produces bright yellow plume-like flowers from late summer into fall. It thrives in part shade to full sun and tolerates a range of average soils, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for naturalized gardens or pollinator plantings. Cut stems back to the ground in late fall or early spring to encourage fresh, tidy growth.
