Habit: Showy Goldenrod produces 12” long wands of bright yellow flowers in late summer
that attract numerous pollinator insects. Although rhizomatous it tends to grow as a clump

make it a desirable component of any meadow planting.
It combines well with other late season plants such as asters and grasses.
