Roundleaf Goldenrod adds a brilliant spray of color to any flower arrangement or informal garden. The golden yellow flowers are widely spreading, allowing them to mix beautifully with other plants. There truly is a goldenrod for just about any setting, and as a native of swamps and other wetlands, Roundleaf Goldenrod can handle wetter soils and some shade. Plus, goldenrods are so beneficial to wildlife that even if you already have goldenrod in your garden, adding another, unusual selection like this is simply adding a cherry to an already delicious sundae!
