Little Lemon Goldenrod

Solidago hybrida 'Dansolitlem'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Bright yellow flowers adorn this plant in clusters beginning in mid-summer. Green, lance-shaped leaves form compact mounds. This dwarf variety is easier to use in the garden than some of the other larger goldenrods. It has shown a high tolerance for drought.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
