A North American native perennial and top rated pollinator plant with a name that perfectly describes it, Fireworks Goldenrod puts on an astonishing fall season display when its fountain of slender, arching branches become covered in golden-yellow daisy-like flowers. Fresh cut flower stems are great for use in flower arrangements and bouquets. All grown up, Fireworks is a shorter, more compact, and less stoloniferous variety than some of the other Goldenrods. Virtually maintenance free, all we do to the plants in our gardens is cut them back to about 3 to 4 inches above the ground in late winter. Exceptionally easy to grow in all regions of the U.S. and the butterflies, bees and other pollinators will thank you for planting this one while the deer and rabbits, who turn their nose up to it, will be saddened! 

PLEASE NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, Goldenrod (Solidago) does not cause allergies. It’s pollen is sticky so does not blow in the wind. Bees transfer it from plant to plant. If you experience allergy symptoms during the fall it’s most likely from ragweed, which blooms at about the same time as goldenrod.

Fireworks Goldenrod is very easy to grow in most any well-drained but moist soil in full sun or part shade. Flowering will be heavier with more sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sun for best flowering.
