High Country Gardens Fireworks Goldenrod
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners wanting to support local pollinators.
This native perennial is the ultimate late-season anchor, exploding with vibrant yellow sprays just as other blooms fade. It’s remarkably tough and pollinator-friendly, though you’ll need to embrace its vigorous, spreading habit to keep it from taking over your garden beds.
