What are your experiences with goldenrod in the butterfly garden? Also, be sure to check out our online classes: shannontrimboli.com/events/category/classes/
My Dad loved goldenrod. When he died in October of 1996 the goldenrod was in full flower in the fields around where we lived in Savannah, GA. I cut armloads of them to fill the church for his service and later returned the seeds from those flowers to the fields where they had grown. It's a memory I treasure.
A native plant sale coming up just released their list of available plants. I looked this video back up to see if I could add any of their species of goldenrod to my yard. I think I’ll try the gray goldenrod! Thanks for the video!
I have small goldenrod that prefers afternoon sun. It blooms longer and hosts caterpillars. The tall goldenrod grows in a clump preferring full sun. Attracts many pollinators and has a pleasant scent.
The field goldenrods are awesome for pollinators and are great in large spaces. We have a ton of the on our farm. Can be a bit much in a garden setting though.
There are so many goldenrods, I hope you do a follow-up. I have several in my garden, including the dread Solidago canadensis - Canada Goldenrod. I have a large yard so it can stay after a june haircut. One that grows in my dappled sun area is Solidago ulmifolia - Elm-leaved Goldenrod. It brings a lovely splash of yellow to shadier areas.
The diversity of goldenrod is amazing! Canada goldenrod can be a bit much for small spaces, but is an excellent plant in larger areas. Like you stated, there are ways to control it. Elm-leaved goldenrod is native to my area, but it is not common.
My goldenrod is just great to see in the late summer/early fall. I just like to stand and watch the pollinators feast on its pollen. Plus, it’s great to see it swaying in the summer breeze on a summer evening.
@@BackyardEcology Bummer! I just happened across your Channel today looking for Poison Ivy Identification tip. Super helpful! Then wandered over to the golden rod video where you mention the Tshirts. Love the shirt!
To my fellow Ontarians, S. speciosa is no longer considered to be native to Ontario. The SW occurrences have recently been reclassified as Solidago rigidiuscula and the NW occurrence has been reclassified as Solidago pallida. Both of these species are in the S. speciosa complex and you may still see references to S. speciosa in government documents. Sadly, I have not been able to find seed sources for either S. rigidiuscula or S. pallida.
Good to know. As native plants continue to gain more attention updates to species range are going to become more common. Common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca, is a species that is now known to be growing in parts of the southeastern US that it was not historically found in. Also, as genetic studies are being done some species are being reclassified into several species.
What a great video with much information. I cannot wait to explore the wetland meadows this summer and see if I can identify the species of Joe Pye Weed!
Just clip off the flower heads with a pair of pruning shears once they quit flowering. Some may try and reflower, but the cool weather usually catches up to them before most can.

This Guy is Great! Just like , Joe Friday of Dragnet for Hort & Ecology! Just the facts Ma'am

The best and most explanatory video I've ever watched! Thank you
Excellent info, thank you for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
The aggressive ones are
Tall Goldenrod -- Canada Goldenrod
Early Goldenrod -- Late Goldenrod
Grass-Leaved Goldenrod -- Broad-Leaved Goldenrod

Glad it was helpful!
Can you do a video about creeping Charlie ? .. small plant in the mint family
I'll probably do a video on how to control it in the future. It is one of the most common invasive species in urban areas.
@@BackyardEcology An invasives to watch out for video would be great

Plenty of diversity in the goldenrods!
You failed to mention the name
I’ve got plenty in my yard. It’s the 2nd last bloomer. The last being the asters.
Same here. Goldenrod from late July through frost and some asters lasting well past frost some years.
My favorite wildflower but I didn’t know there were more than two kinds. I see a lot of it on my morning walks.
One of my favorites too. There are around 100 goldenrod species in North America.
We absolutely love our goldenrod especially giant goldenrod , old field goldenrod and Canadian, amazing for polinators !
The field goldenrods are awesome for pollinators and are great in large spaces. We have a ton of the on our farm. Can be a bit much in a garden setting though.

It is a great looking plant, especially in the breeze. I am always amazed at the amount of pollinators goldenrod draws.
Thank you for making this video.
You are welcome! Glad you found it useful.
I have that tee shirt!😊
Awesome! They seem to have quit making them.
How do I order the bee t shirt?
Unfortunately the company that made them is no longer selling them. If they ever bring them back I will put a link to them on the channel.
💪 presentation here. BTW, were those cicadas or katydids trying to drown Anthony out?
Thank you! Those are cicadas making most of the background sounds, along with an occasional sheep across the road.
I'm SUPER excited about the cicadas this year! it's 2-24-24 as i leave this reply ✌️
A good portion of my back yard is mostly goldenrods and rudbeckias, I'm very excited that I learned of more species to add to it!
That is awesome!
How do I order a two bees 🐝 or not two bees tee shirt. ❤️
They are no longer made. The company that was printing them stopped producing them for some reason.
😢

We grew about 15 Odora's love the tea made from the top 1/4. We are starting Solidago rigida this year
One of my favorite goldenrods!
your hands are a distraction. use them less.
Been working on it. My newer videos have less hand movement.
Been working on it. My newer vids have less hand action.
@@BackyardEcologyuse your hands all you want. Not distracting at all.
I talk with my hands too 😂

Very nice
Thanks!
I'd love to hear about all the not so well behaved goldenrod that occur in Texas. We have a bunch that aren't the ones you listed.
May get to some of the more old field/meadow species in the future.
Hey there! How do you deadhead them and will they rebloom?
Just clip off the flower heads with a pair of pruning shears once they quit flowering. Some may try and reflower, but the cool weather usually catches up to them before most can.
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
ZIGZAG ⚡️ GOLDENROD
This could be your superhero name, Anthony!
Hmmm. It is one of my favorites!
What are the bulbs or galls on the stems?
Be watching for a Nature Note on this very subject in the near future!
