Stiff Goldenrod
Solidago rigida ‘Golden Rockets’
Yet another garden-friendly goldenrod. ‘Golden Rockets’ is a compact, study cultivar that may be low in stature but it’s high in value. Like other goldenrods, it provides vital nectar and pollen for late-season pollinators, including migrating monarchs. But it’s also drought-tolerant, salt-tolerant, and low-maintenance, making it the perfect plant to brighten up any tough, sunny spots near driveways, sidewalks, and roads.
