Solidago squarrosa, Stout Goldenrod

Solidago squarrosa

Stout Goldenrod

New to me in 2022 this year, these seeds were given to me from someone who wild collected them here in the Ottawa area.

There is limited information available about their growing condition preferences, so I'll try planting them in a few places to see what they prefer. Height seems to range from 3' to 5' and they have a lovely, upright form.
