Unlike some traditional goldenrods, it has a tidy, non-invasive growth habit and is highly valued for its late-season colour. An exceptional pollinator plant, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects when many other plants are finishing bloom. Excellent for native gardens, prairie plantings, meadows, borders, and naturalized landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"848\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"828\"\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 to 60 cm apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"876\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"861\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 to 150 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"902\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"888\"\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 to 60 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1485\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"933\"\u003eMaintenance Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low maintenance. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil but adapts to a variety of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. Water regularly during establishment; once established, it is drought-tolerant. Cut back old stems in late fall or early spring before new growth begins. Deadheading can be done to control self-seeding, although seed heads provide winter interest and food for birds. Fertilization is generally unnecessary, and excessive fertility may cause weak, floppy growth. Hardy and well-suited to Canadian gardens in Zones 3–8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eImages Courtesy of Ball Horticultural Company \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eof Ball Seed or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ballseed.com\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ewww.ballseed.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":47211534123145,"sku":"G15212","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/G15212Solidagospeciosa.jpg?v=1783445653","url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/products\/solidago-perfoliatum","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
