Elm-leaved Goldenrod - Solidago ulmifolia *RPBB*

Elm-leaved is a delicate, arching goldenrod, happy in part-Sun or shade, and long-blooming. Goldenrods are essential for any garden, and one of the most important wildlife plants: larval host to more than 110 caterpillar species in North America. They bloom at a time when most needed: adding late-season color and forage for birds and insects when most plants are going dormant for winter. Favored by the federally endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, it is larval host for moths and the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, and fall and winter food for Juncos, Goldfinches, native Sparrows, and other songbirds. Be sure to leave your seedheads fall, winter and spring.
