Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) is a native perennial belonging to the Aster family, whose curved, small yellow flowers are loved by pollinators and florists.

 

The smooth stems and leaves grow to a 4 foot height.

​

It blooms in our marshes and dunes from August to October, and is often found near ragweed (which is the cause of hay fever, not the Goldenrod).

​

Native Americans used the leaves to cure sore throats and toothaches.

The Seaside Goldenrod is a beautiful native that lets its color guide us into fall, while nourishing migrating species.
