Solidago ulmifolia
Elm Leaf Goldenrod is a woodland species of goldenrod growing vertically and reaching heights around 3 feet. As its name suggests, the leaves of this species resemble those of Elm trees. It is an important keystone species for native pollinators that supports a myriad army of native bees, butterflies and moths. It is quite shade tolerant, unlike most other goldenrods thriving in the dappled shade of woodland habitats, and tolerates many different soil types including clay, sand, or rocky soils, as long as the soil has sufficient drainage. Copious amounts of yellow flowers appear in summer extending into the early fall providing vertical splashes of color to shady areas of gardens where other plants would struggle to bloom.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 10-15 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
