Solidago Nemoralis Also known as Gray Goldenrod, Prairie Goldenrod, Oldfield Goldenrod, Grayleaf Goldenrod, Gray-leaved Goldenrod, Dyersweed Goldenrod, Dwarf Goldenrod, Field Goldenrod Solidago nemoralis, affectionately known as old field goldenrod, is a charming sunflower family member, gracefully growing upright with its rhizomatous form. Typically, it reaches a compact height of just 0.5' to 1', and on rare occasions, it may stretch up to 3' tall. As one of the smaller goldenrod species, it proudly calls North America home, flourishing across the southern provinces of Canada, from Newfoundland all the way to British Columbia, and in the United States, from Maine to Florida, extending westward to Montana and New Mexico. This beautiful perennial often shows off a charming clump of 1-6 unbranched gray-green stems, lightly dressed in soft, short white hairs. From August to November, it treats us to a stunning display of vibrant flowers, as narrow, gently arching plumes adorned with bright yellow blooms (panicles) grace the stems, measuring 4-10" long. Each flowerhead, about 1/4" across, adds a delightful touch to the upper side of each panicle, and once they bloom, they transition into hairy achenes, further enhancing the plant's unique character. Goldenrods are attractive to bees and butterflies. BONAP MAP Height: 1'-2'Spread: 1'-2'Bloom: August-NovemberLight: Full SunWater: Low-MediumZone: 3-9Origin: Texas, North America
