Canada Goldenrod is an herbaceous perennial plant that grows 2-4’ tall, and sometimes upwards of 6’ tall. Warm golden flowers bloom in the late summer when most wildflowers are finished blooming. Spread by self-seeding and rhizomes, goldenrod is widely adaptable and grows in a variety of soil types and dry or wet conditions. Very cold hardy. It feeds diverse types of pollinators, and is a host plant for the northern checkerspot butterfly. The flowers can be used as a dye plant that creates beautiful golden hues. Most noteworthy is that goldenrod will grow in soils contaminated by nuclear and industrial waste, heavy metals, and soils charred by wildfire. It is resilient!
