2–5' tall. Also called Rigida. Formerly classified as a member of the Solidago genus and recently reclassified as an Oligoneuron.
Grower Gene Ripley said it best: “Rigida displays the gorgeous yellow-gold vibrancy of goldenrod, but packed into a dense, showy, flat-topped cluster, with attractive lush slate-green foliage that you’d never recognize as a goldenrod. The pollinators absolutely love it, like all goldenrods, but Rigida draws them in without looking weedy or common.” Supports a huge array of bees and insect species, as well as monarchs. Excellent cutflower.
Plant in full sun to part shade in rich well-drained soil. Native to eastern North America. Zone 3.
