Thrives in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Tolerates poor quality soils and a considerable amount of drought conditions.

Additional Notes about Goldenrod:


Goldenrod (Solidago) is unfairly blamed for being the source of pollen or allergens which affect those who suffer from hay fever. Pollen from goldenrod is too heavy to travel by air whereas ragweed pollen, which is released close in time to that of solidago, is easily carried and is the true source of this discomfort.
