Canada Goldenrod Perennial

(Solidago canadensis)

Canada Goldenrod

Canada goldenrod is an herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae native to North America. It is often grown as a wildflower. This is a tall, slim plant 120 - 150 cm (4-5 feet ) topped off with fluffy, bright golden flower spikes that bloom in the fall. Goldenrods grow just about everywhere. They are most often seen in fields or along stream banks, but they can also be seen in woods. Beware before planting Goldenrod as they are sometimes considered a weed, because they grow quickly and can be very invasive. It's spectacular display of bright yellow flowers cannot be missed.
