Solidago Riddellii – Riddells Goldenrod is a plant that features showy flower clusters that are mostly rounded and flat topped. The yellow flowers have 7 – 9 petals on multiple stalked clusters at the tip of the main stem. The floral bracts of this plant are rounded and broad. They have leaves that are leathery with smooth surfaces and the edges are toothless but rough. The basal leaves are lance-like, often broadly oblong, that taper to a long-winged stalk. It has a blooming season that ranges from August to September, will grow between 2 – 3 feet, and does best in full sun with well-drained soil. These flowers
will attract pollinators to your garden such as butterflies and bees while being resistant to deer and rabbits. These plants are native to Northeastern North America and do well in beds and borders in the garden. They are also low maintenance plants, which is always a good thing for the busy gardener. The species name riddellii is an honorary for John Leonard Riddell (1807-1865)

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
