Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This cultivar of our native Canada goldenrod is long-blooming in summer, and attracts many helpful insects - small bees and wasps that parasitize garden pests. A well-behaved cultivar that doesn't run and rarely reseeds itself.
Plume-like flower sprays of golden yellow on neat, well-behaved, 2' plants in late summer; contrary to popular opinion, goldenrods do not cause hay-fever, so enjoy these harbingers of fall in good health! SUN/Med
Compact 18" tall plants with dense golden sprays in fall. Front or center of the border placement would be fine.
