Family

Asteraceae

Botanical Name

Solidago 'Barseven'(SWEETY) PP11316

Plant Common Name

Hybrid Goldenrod, Sweety Goldenrod

General Description

Offering a dwarf habit, mildew resistance, and a late-summer bonanza of large frothy bright lemon yellow flower clusters, this hybrid goldenrod is perfect for the front of the perennial border. The abundant plumy flower clusters crowd the top of compact sturdy stems that are densely furnished with attractive dark green lance-shaped leaves. The clump-forming plants are well-behaved and not invasive.

Plant this goldenrod in full sun in any average to fertile soil that has good drainage. It is lovely combined with dwarf ornamental grasses such as blue-leaved fescues and purple-flowered pennisetums. It is also effective in ground-covering masses or as a single rock garden or container specimen. Contary to common belief, goldenrod does not cause hayfever.
