Field Goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis)

This is an excellent plant for a difficult spot where little else will grow. Field Goldenrod likes full sun and dry soil, even poor, rocky, clay slopes with little organic matter. The long, narrow inflorescence is somewhat wider in the middle and will nod down slightly when flowering for a month or so in the fall. Solidago nemoralis is one of the shortest Goldenrods, reaching 2' at most. Other distinguishing features include small winged leaflets on the main stem and fuzzy white texture on the leaves and stem. It tends to bloom later in the fall than other Goldenrods.
