Gray Goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis) plants from Missouri Wildflowers Nursery

Question

Q: Does this plant stay mostly upright, or does it flop over?

Asked by: Lisa Berger - 4/28/2016

Accepted Answer

It naturally varies from arching to being upright. If your soil is too good or you fertilize it too much, it could grow too large to support itself and flop over. Larger goldenrods and asters can be trimmed back in July by as much as half. This will prevent them from growing too tall when it is time to bloom and can give the plants a more formal appearance.
