Seaside Goldenrod or Solidago sempervirens is a perennial that produces a tight clump of narrow, evergreen basal leaves topped by leafy, erect or arching, 2-6 ft. stalks. Flowers are deep-yellow and the leaves are somewhat succulent. Succulent-leaved salt-marsh Goldenrod with arching branches that bear one-sided clusters of large, bright yellow flower heads. This variety is not native to the SE but rather the west coast of the US.

It flourishes in well-drained soil and sunlight, requiring minimal maintenance once established. Its robust nature allows it to withstand various soil conditions, making it a resilient and welcome addition to gardens and naturalistic landscapes. Best grown in zones 3-10.

This hardy perennial is less invasive than the native species and harder to find. Produces 3-4 foot multiple stems topped with profuse golden plumes filled with small flowers. Much loved by the bees as a later season food source. Standing at 3 feet tall, its slender stems bear vibrant clusters of tiny, golden-yellow flowers, creating a tapestry of warmth and color. Adaptable and low-maintenance, this perennial treasure seamlessly integrates into diverse habitats, captivating with its botanical allure.

Goldenrods are not poisonous to humans, dogs, cats or rabbits. All parts of the plant are safe to touch and theoretically, goldenrod is edible.
