Showy Goldenrod, Solidago speciosa, is a standout among goldenrods for its vibrant, feathery plumes of deep yellow flowers. Noted for its later blooming period, this goldenrod variety enhances any garden with its striking red stems and dense clusters of flowers that attract a myriad of pollinators. Perfect for both metaphysical enthusiasts and ecological gardeners, Showy Goldenrod offers a spectacle of color and a host of environmental benefits.
