Schizachyrium scoparium 'Standing Ovation'
Pot Size: 5.25 Inch Square Pot
Goldenrod truly shines in the fall garden, with its lancet-like flower wands packed with golden yellow blooms. Pollinators love this plant as much as gardeners, and it forgives heat and dry soils. Don't be fooled by the common myth that this is a major allergen plant--the pollen is sticky and travels by bees; it is not airborne.
