Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod
(Solidago rugosa)
Native Perennial


Like fireworks spraying out into the air, Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod also goes by the name Fireworks. Electric yellow colored shafts come shooting out of the clump like bush to provide a beautiful display of color come late summer. For roughly two weeks, you'll be mesmerized by the show that this native perennial displays. If you are looking for a late season bloomer, Winkleleaf Goldenrod should be a great addition.

HOW TO PLANT

FIND A LOCATION - Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod will thrive in both full and partial sunlight.  The location should have moist soil to allow the plant to blossom.
PLANT IT - One of the most simple plants to plant, simply take a "plug" out of the ground. The hole that you plugged should be as deep as the container is tall.  Drop your Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod in the ground and cover back up with dirt.
WATER IT IN - After you plant your new native perennial you will need to water them in.  They will need water once week until they start to sprout.
ENJOY - Simplicity turns into beauty. The Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod that you plant will sure to be an eye catcher come the late Summer.

**Growing Tip**
Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod prefers moist, well drained soil to produce the best flowers in late summer.
