Why Choose Showy Goldeneye?

Showy Goldeneye is a hardy, long-blooming native plant that adds seasonal color and pollinator support to gardens and wild spaces. Whether used in prairies, meadows, pollinator gardens, or along sunny roadsides, this easy-care perennial thrives with little water and care, providing vibrant yellow blooms, ecological benefits, and natural beauty.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Prefers full sun with well-drained, dry to moderately moist soils.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots; drought-tolerant once mature.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
