Canada Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis)

Oh, you want attitude? Meet Canada Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis)—the unapologetic mosh-pit king of the late-season prairie, stomping into your garden with a thousand blazing yellow fists in the air like it's headlining Lolla'99 and no one told it to turn down the volume.

This beast is aggressive—yeah, we said it. But so was Rage Against the Machine, and you didn’t see anyone asking them to politely scoot over and make room for the begonias. Canada Goldenrod rolls deep, spreads hard, and doesn’t care about your dainty garden borders. It’s here to light up the fall, feed every last desperate bee looking for one final nectar hit before the frost hits like a power outage, and claim space like it’s owed back rent.

So next time someone tells you goldenrod is “too much,” just grin and say:
“Canadense this,” and plant another one.

🌾🔥💛
Canada Goldenrod:
Loud. Wild. Unstoppable. Just like it should be.
