Also called Sweet Goldenrod, this fragrant, rough-leaved, perennial herb grows to 4 feet tall. It forms a bushy, upright clump of dark-green leaves that bears large heads of golden-yellow flowers. It is drought and deer tolerant and requires low to medium watering. It prefers full sun, but can grow in light shade, and in poor, dry soils. This plant is also of special value to native honey bees.
