The Golden Rod Plant is a herbaceous perennial that is defined by its bright yet small and dense clusters of yellow flowers. These beautiful blooms sit atop the tall green stems from July all the way through September. Native to North America, Mexico, and Eurasia, these plants are commonly found in woodlands, meadows, prairies, swamps, and gardens.

The Benefits Of Planting Golden Rod


This perennial is simple to grow and will flourish in a variety of different conditions. It's drought-tolerant, and it possesses attractive nectar alongside tasty seeds that will be sure to bring in an array of curious bees, butterflies, and birds. Part of the Aster botanical family, this plant is resistant to deer. It's also not prone to any serious diseases or insect problems.

The Growth Of Golden Rod


The Plant will extend up to a size of between three and seven feet and a width of six to eight feet. Depending on the specific species, this plant may have one or multiple wooden stems erecting from its roots. The stems tend to be very rigid and smooth to the touch.

Along its stems, there are alternating dark green leaves that reach between two and a half and three and a half inches long by one-half to one inch wide. These are typically serrated and can be smooth or hairy. This herbaceous plant gives off a light anise or licorice aroma.

 

The Stunning Flowers Of Golden Rod


At its apex, this plant will produce clusters of flowers throughout the summer and fall months. Each specific bloom will have five ray flowers that calculate less than a quarter of an inch in length. These disk flowers have a total width of around one-third of an inch, making them relatively minuscule.

The Golden rod Plant loves to grow in clusters. This makes it the perfect plant for bordering gardens, walkways, and so much more. Its invigorating yellow burst of color can provide a great contrast against dark green foliage. Due to its height, this herbaceous plant is commonly chosen by homeowners as an attractive backdrop for household gardens. With its lovely sweet scent, it can also make the perfect potted patio plant.
