Showy Goldenrod is a vibrant, pollinator-friendly perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens, offering bright yellow, star-shaped flowers from mid-summer to early fall. Its club-shaped flower clusters sit atop striking brick-red stems, creating a bold contrast in any landscape. The narrow green leaves add to its visual appeal, while its sturdy stems make it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements. Whether planted in garden beds, naturalized areas, or containers, Showy Goldenrod provides long-lasting color when many other plants have finished blooming.
This hardy perennial grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers dry to average moisture levels with well-drained soil. Highly tolerant of poor soils and urban pollution, it’s a low-maintenance choice for Massachusetts gardeners. With a mature height of 24 inches and flower spikes reaching up to 3 feet, Showy Goldenrod makes a great accent plant or mass planting option.
