Description
Seaside Goldenrod is a resilient native perennial perfect for Massachusetts gardeners looking to add vibrant color to coastal or salt-tolerant landscapes. Commonly found along beaches, dunes, and marshes, this tough plant features arching branches with one-sided clusters of bright yellow flowers. Standing between 2 and 8 feet tall, it produces dense flowering heads that create a showy late-summer display. This goldenrod thrives in tough conditions and doesn't spread invasively.
For those in Massachusetts seeking a salt-tolerant and deer-resistant perennial, Seaside Goldenrod is a smart, low-maintenance choice. Its upright habit can be made more compact by pinching the growing tips in June, offering versatility in garden design. Unlike other goldenrods, it does not spread by rhizomes, making it suitable for managed spaces. Plant it in sunny spots for a glowing fall display that also supports local pollinators.
Each plant comes in a 3.25″ growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
