Solidago rigida, commonly known as Stiff Goldenrod, is a robust native perennial that brings vibrant yellow blooms to gardens from late summer to fall. Known for its upright, sturdy stems, this species thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it ideal for prairie gardens, meadows, and naturalized landscapes.
Stiff Goldenrod is a key pollinator plant, attracting bees, butterflies, and moths with its abundant nectar. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and supports biodiversity by providing a vital food source during the fall when other nectar-rich plants are scarce.
