Solidago ‘Crown of Rays’
Hybrid Goldenrod |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.494.070
This is one of several Hybrid Goldenrods that have been developed as commercial cut flowers in Europe. Plants form a bushy mound of deep-green leaves, bearing large clusters of golden-yellow flowers in late summer. Stems are strong and should not need staking. This is a well-behaved garden plant, worthy of growing in any sunny border. Flowers do not cause allergies. Moist soil will help to prevent powdery mildew. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring. Attractive to butterflies.
