One of the easiest flowering perennials to grow in almost any area of the United States (USDA Zones 4a-9b), ‘Little Lemon’ Goldenrod is a compact selection that sports abundant sprays of showy light lemon-yellow flowers over a long period. Flowers begin to emerge around August and continue all the way through October providing a late season food supply for butterflies, bees, birds and other beneficial pollinators. At 12 to18 inches tall and equally as wide this colorful late season beauty is perfect for smaller garden spaces and containers and the pretty flowers are excellent for cutting and use in flower arrangements.

PLEASE NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, Goldenrod (Solidago) does not cause allergies. Its pollen is sticky so does not blow in the wind. Bees and other beneficial pollinators transfer it from plant to plant. If you experience allergy symptoms during the fall it’s most likely from ragweed, which blooms at about the same time as goldenrod.

Little Lemon Goldenrod is very easy to grow in most any well-drained but moist soil of average fertility in full sun or part shade. Flowering will be heavier with more sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sun for best flowering.
