Solidago 'Goldkind'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Description: Compact dwarf perennial with mid-green leaves. Bears upright plume-like panicles of golden yellow blossoms in late summer. Adapts well to poor soils and prefers full sun. Self sows freely. Makes an excellent cut flower. Attracts bees and butterflies.

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.
