Seaside Goldenrod
Solidago sempervirens, commonly known as Seaside Goldenrod, is a perennial native to the shorelines of eastern North America. Adapted to harsh coastal conditions, it features distinctive semi-succulent leaves that help the plant retain moisture. This hardy plant has brilliant yellow flowers. Seaside Goldenrod serves as a crucial late-season energy source for migrating Monarch butterflies and native bees.
Grow Guide
- Light: Full Sun
- Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9
- Size: 3–6 feet tall with a spread of 1–2 feet
- Watering: Dry to medium. Exceptionally drought tolerant once established. It thrives in poor, sandy, or rocky soils that drain quickly, though it will adapt to average garden soils as long as they are not poorly drained or overly rich.
- Best Use: Indispensable for coastal gardens, sandy banks, rain gardens, and pollinator meadows. It is highly prized for its resistance to heavy salt spray, high winds, and deer.
