SOLIDAGO
(Plant heights are given at maturity)
Canadian
Goldenrod - Solidago canadensis - Perennial
- Native American plant with
plumes of golden yellow blooms in late summer until frost. Tough
and hardy, the plant can survive almost anywhere, though it is happiest
in well drained moist soil. It attracts butterflies,
ladybugs
and lacewings, but has an abundance of pollen, which may be a
problem to
allergy sufferers. It is edible, with the leaves and stems being
cooked as a green or used to make tea, and the seeds ground and used as
a thickener. Goldenrod root is said to be beneficial to burns and
cuts, containing antiseptic and astringent properties. The blooms
have been used to treat sore throat, fever, kidney problems and
snakebite.
Full sun or partial shade; Hardy to -30F (-34.4C); height: 28in.
