Summary
Solidago fistulosa, commonly known as Pine Barren Goldenrod, is a deciduous perennial herb native to the pine barrens, flatwoods, savannas, and other open areas in the Southeastern United States. It typically grows to a height of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters) and a width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters). The plant features erect stems with narrow, lance-shaped leaves and produces plumes of small, bright yellow flowers that bloom in late summer to fall, attracting a variety of pollinators.
Pine Barren Goldenrod is valued for its wildlife-friendly attributes and its ability to thrive in poor, sandy soils. It is often used in naturalistic plantings, meadow gardens, and restoration projects. This species is adaptable to a range of moisture conditions, from dry to wet, and prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade. While it is generally low-maintenance, it can spread vigorously by rhizomes, which should be considered when planting in smaller gardens. It is not typically afflicted by serious pests or diseases.CC BY-SA 4.0
