Solidago rigida ssp. humilis 'Golden Rockets'

Goldenrod

This space-saving goldenrod forms a basal mound of broad, dark green foliage from which very upright, stiff flowering stems emerge in late summer. Bright yellow blossoms are clustered in dense, rounded umbels at the tips of each stem. Due to its high salt tolerance, it can be planted near walkways and roads that are salted in winter. Introduced by: Jelitto.
