Cutler's Alpine Goldenrod, Goldrush Alpine Goldenrod

General Description

Offering a dense compact habit and a late-summer bonanza of fuzzy golden-yellow flower clusters on erect stems, Goldrush is a floriferous selection of the eastern North American native Solidago cutleri. Plants form a dense slowly spreading clump of attractive lance-shaped leaves.

Alpine goldenrod performs best when grown in full sun in lean well-drained soils. Once established it demonstrates good drought tolerance and resistance to powdery mildew. Alpine goldenrod makes a nice specimen plant in a rockery or cottage garden, trough, or large pot.
