Gray goldenrod is a ‘well-behaved’ goldenrod that will add spikes of gold to the garden from late June until fall. It grows to about 3’ in sun to shade and prefers dry soils of any variety. Goldenrod does not cause hay fever or allergies- that is ragwort pollen that is inconspicuous and blooms at the same time. All goldenrods are important nectar and pollen sources for a wide variety of pollinators.
