Solidago canadensis | ||||||||||||
Goldenrod | ||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
A useful, drought-tolerant plant for late summer and early autumn colour, bearing dense plumes of tiny bright yellow flowers on erect stems a metre or more high. Can be invasive, so best cut hard back before the plants set seed. | ||||||||||||
Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
Best sown outside in autumn or very early spring, as germination is improved with winter chill. Sow on the surface of slightly gritty compost, covering with a sprinkling of compost or fine vermiculite. Provide the shelter of a cold frame, pricking out seedlings as they become large enough to handle, growing on and planting out when big enough. |
