Solidago rugosa Fireworks
Fireworks Golden Rod
Fireworks goldenrod produces arching sprays of yellow flowers above a clump of green foliage. Its late-season display draws bees and butterflies, and its slowly expanding habit is easier to place than more aggressive goldenrods.
Its structure combines arching stems and clumping growth. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter.
Choose a sunny, open site. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
