Gray goldenrod is a tough, low-maintenance native perennial that thrives in poor soils and partial shade, making it ideal for naturalized garden areas. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as it is moderately drought-tolerant once settled. It spreads by rhizomes and self-seeding, so give it room to naturalize or divide clumps every few years to control spread.
