Elliot's Goldenrod
Solidago latissimifolia
Asteraceae (Compositae)
The range on this goldenrod is amazing! It is found from New England down to Florida. This is a wetland goldenrod - quite different from its scrubby dry loving relatives. This is a great plant for boggy, low wet areas, adding a beautiful spray of yellow flowers. It can tolerate brackish water as well! It gets TALL! Up to ten feet in Florida. 4” pots, shipped bare root but wrapped carefully if shipping is selected. Attracts a wide variety of pollinators, especially bees.
