Solidago nemoralis, commonly known as Old Field Goldenrod, is a hardy native perennial well-suited for tough growing conditions where little else will thrive. It performs best in full sun and dry soils, including poor, rocky, or clay sites with low organic matter.
One of the shorter goldenrods, it typically reaches up to 2 feet in height and features narrow flower clusters that widen slightly at the center and nod gently when in bloom. It flowers later in the season than many other goldenrods, providing valuable late-season color and pollinator support. Distinguishing features include small winged leaflets along the stem and a soft, fuzzy texture on the leaves and stems.
