    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Ohio Goldenrod (Solidago ohioensis) is the largest of the goldenrod flowers. The compact form misrepresents the exuberant late season floral display. The foliage is superb, with lush, lance-like leaves radiating out from the base. Excellent for moist clay, it also thrives in good garden soil. Hardy to Zones 4 - 5.
