Showy Goldenrod

Solidago speciosa

3 - 10'    /         July - October (Yellow)

If you like butterflies you'll love this! Long-lasting blooms provide an important late-season nectar source. Does not, in fact, cause hayfever. This plant is pollinated by insects, not wind, thus it does not release a lot of allergy-producing pollen into the air.
