Wrinkleleaf goldenrod is a tough, low-maintenance native perennial that lights up the late-summer and fall garden with bright yellow flower plumes beloved by pollinators. It adapts well to average to moist soils in partial shade and spreads gradually by rhizomes, making it ideal for naturalizing in woodland edges or rain gardens. Divide clumps every few years to control spread and rejuvenate growth.
