Solidago 'Crown of Rays'
Crown of Rays Goldenrod, Hybrid Goldenrod
Few perennials are as good as goldenrods at bringing a sunny splash of color to the border. Bearing horizontal sprays of bright golden yellow flowers atop leafy knee-high stems from mid- to late summer, 'Crown of Rays' lives up to its name. This well-behaved, non-invasive cultivar forms dense clumps of lance-shaped leaves.
Plant this hardy perennial in full sun in any average garden soil. It is relatively tolerant of dry or heavy soil. It makes a good fresh or dried cut flower. The brassy yellow flowers blend well with the bright hues of heleniums, cardinal flowers, and other summer-blooming perennials. Contary to common belief, goldenrod does not cause hayfever.
