100 of SHOWY GOLDENROD Seeds Perennial and 50 similar items

SHOWY GOLDENROD is a member of the Aster family. They grow naturally in prairies, meadows, and savannas from New England to Minnesota and Wyoming, and south to Georgia and Texas. They are a late bloomer, providing blooms and nectar late into the fall season when much of the landscape has stopped producing for the year, making it an important variety in any ecosystem. The Native Americans and settlers used it for healing and for a yellow dye. Thomas Edison extracted rubber from its leaves and invented a good rubber substitute. Showy Goldenrod thrives in full sun to partial shade and grows to be about 5’ tall, making it great for a larger meadow or border planting. This native wildflower attracts a variety of pollinators to the late season garden. Easy to grow from seed.100+seeds per order. Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them.
