Solidago 'Goldkind' | Goldkind Goldenrod
DESCRIPTION
Solidago 'Goldkind,' known for its lush, golden flower clusters, brings a sunny brightness to the garden from late summer into early fall. Dense plumes of small, radiant yellow flowers create an arching effect on each stem, producing a cloud of vibrant color that invites bees and butterflies to the landscape. The compact, upright form is excellent for filling garden beds or as a seasonal backdrop to other perennials.
Originating from the traditional goldenrods native to North America, 'Goldkind' was selected for its well-behaved growth and consistent color. It’s especially valued in pollinator gardens for providing a late-season food source and pairs beautifully with asters, grasses, and other autumn-blooming plants. An ideal choice for adding seasonal interest, 'Goldkind' also serves as a reliable, low-maintenance addition to naturalized and border plantings.
