In the garden

Solidago 'Goldenmosa' is a perennial in the genus Solidago (family Asteraceae) grown for its late-season display and usefulness as a cut flower. It is treated as a herbaceous perennial and is most often sited where its seasonal bloom can be appreciated from late summer into autumn. For best results choose a full-sun position in well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged sites; the plant prefers a moderate level of soil moisture rather than constantly wet ground. Established plants tolerate typical garden conditions when they receive plenty of light; routine watering during dry spells helps maintain steady flowering. No specific hardiness rating is supplied here, so place it where conditions match its sun and drainage preferences. Solidago 'Goldenmosa' works well at the back of mixed borders where its flowering stems can rise above companion perennials, in pollinator patches to provide late nectar, and as a cutting source for seasonal arrangements. Its flowering period from August to October extends the season for bees and other insects while supplying long stems for vases and displays.
