Plant Profile
Bog Goldenrod - (Solidago uliginosa) will develop a sturdy, upright stem, two-to-five feet tall, in medium to wet soils. The leaves are smooth and toothless and decrease in size further up the smooth, hairless stem. The deep red stem color often is overlooked because of the perky, yellow flower clusters that encircle the stalk with wand-like plumes. This wonderful species is low-maintenance and resistant to deer, while attracting butterflies and other pollinators.
It works well planted in a native garden, cottage, butterfly, or woodland garden. Whatever your preference or situation may be, there is a goldenrod to suit all occasions. Sadly, goldenrods often get blamed for causing the dreaded hay fever. This is simply not true. Their pollen is quite large and sticky so as to better adhere to the body of visiting insects. Because of this, goldenrod pollen cannot become airborne and can never make its way into your sinuses. The true cause of hay fever is the wind pollinated ragweed, which broadcast copious amounts of lightweight pollen into the air.
We cannot stress enough how important goldenrods are in the landscape. Including them on your property will provide ecosystem services well into the fall when most other plant life is shutting down.
