Solidago rigida subsp. rigida

Stiff goldenrod is a tough, fast-growing native perennial that produces dense clusters of bright yellow flowers in late summer and fall, making it a pollinator magnet. It thrives in average soils with moderate moisture and partial to full sun, requiring very little supplemental care once established. An excellent choice for prairie-style gardens, meadow plantings, or wildlife-friendly borders across the Midwest and eastern U.S.
