Why Choose Sweet Goldenrod?

Sweet Goldenrod is more than just a pollinator magnet—it’s a resilient, versatile plant that thrives in full sun or part shade, making it ideal for various garden conditions. Its fragrant leaves can even be used to brew herbal tea, adding another layer of utility to its beauty. Incorporating Sweet Goldenrod into your garden enriches the habitat for critical wildlife species while offering unique sensory and aesthetic benefits.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, it requires less water.
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.
