Solidago is a genus of about 100 species of perennials, mostly from North America, with a few species from South America and Eurasia. Commonly called goldenrods, they are grown for their bright yellow or gold flowers. They are great additions to fall gardens and attractive to bees and butterflies. Goldenrods have been wrongfully accused of causing hay fever, which is an allergic reaction to wind-borne pollen from other plants, such as ragweed, which flower simultaneously and may be growing close together.

'Little Lemon' is one of the most compact forms of goldenrod, typically growing to only 14” tall and 18” wide.

Goldenrods are attractive to bees and butterflies.
