Solidago rigida (Stiff Goldenrod) produces cheerful, yellow blooms that are butterfly-magnets. This easy-to-grow native perennial is adaptable, drought-resistant, and will be a bright addition to the late season garden.
Stiff Goldenrod has larger, flatter flower clusters than most Goldenrods. The leaves turn nice shades of red in the fall. For a colorful fall show, plant Stiff Goldenrod with other fall bloomers such as Button Blazing Star, Little Bluestem, New England Aster and Sweet Black-eyed Susan. Solidago rigida can also go by another botanical name, Oligoneuron rigidum. As for common names, you may hear it referred to as Rigid Goldenrod or Prairie Goldenrod.
On many sites Stiff Goldenrod can be a prolific self seeder. It does well in a broad range of soil conditions so on small sites or in home garden/landscapes removal of the seed head before the seed is ripe is preferable to weeding unwanted seedlings.
Stiff goldenrod is a somewhat weedy, rhizomatous, Missouri native perennial which typically occurs in open woods, glades, thickets and prairies throughout most of the State. Features tiny, bright yellow, daisy-like flowers borne in dense, erect, flat-topped terminal clusters atop stiff, broad-leaved, hairy stems typically growing 3-5′ tall. Individual flowers (to 1/2″ diameter) are larger than those of most other native Missouri goldenrods. Flowers bloom late summer to early autumn.
