The goldenrod, originally from North America, is known to us as a troublesome, rampant weed. But there are also many garden-worthy cultivars that don't proliferate. Low hybrid forms have a growth height of only 30 centimeters, but there are also true giants that grow up to 200 centimeters high. They all have a preference for sunny locations.
The goldenrod loves the sun
Goldenrod's secret recipe: Lots of sun and moist soil
In addition to a sunny location, the goldenrod also prefers moderately nutrient-rich, well-drained and moist soil. This can be loamy, but it doesn't want to be too water-storing. Like so many perennials, the goldenrue does not tolerate waterlogging, even if it loves moisture.
Excellent for beds and borders
The summer perennial that blooms from July to September is ideal for beds and borders. It also looks pretty in wildflower gardens. Good planting partners include: asters blooming in summer, fine rays (Erigeron), sun bride (Helenium), scabioses (Scabiosa), Montbretia (Crocosmia) and grasses, such as feather grass (Stipa).
tips
Remove faded flower sprouts in good time to prevent self-seeding.
