Showy Goldenrod – Solidago speciosa

This goldenrod variety has cone-shaped clumps of flowers that add brightness to the garden in late summer and fall, and pairs beautifully with many varieties including asters. It’s well loved by pollinators, providing  nectar and pollen for native bees, honeybees, butterflies, moths and beetles late in the season. It’s host to many moth species and backyard birders will love the way it attracts Eastern Goldfinches for its seeds.
