Botanists have sliced and diced the daisy family to a fare-thee-well of late, giving many familiar plants new names. Only some goldenrods are still to be called Solidago, according to the new Flora of North America. The rest are divided among Chrysomia, Euthamia, Guttierezia, Oligoneuron, Petradoria and Symphotrichum. And that's just the goldenrods. |

Solidago
spathulata de Candolle. Mountain goldenrod.
Sometimes now called Solidago simplex var. simplex. This
knee-high summer beauty with bright yellow flowers grows in wet
montane meadows and rocky seeps in the Pacific Northwest and across much
of North America. Here you see it in our rock garden in July. It is
very hardy.
Pot (10 cm / 4") or bare root. Not available this season. |
