While choosing a goldenrod for our “Native plant of the year” may seem like a bit of a stretch, cliff goldenrod is one of those perfectly shaped, compact perennials that will work stunningly in any sunny to partly shaded garden while it feeds the neighborhood. It is a magnet for many kinds of pollinating butterflies, , day-flying , flies, beetles, and wasps. It benefits local ecosystems by feeding adults of numerous species as well as insect larvae, including several species. (Don’t worry, because your plants will still look as good as the ones pictured here when they bloom in the fall.) Cliff goldenrod is a well-behaved, clumping peren- nial. While it grows out and down on cliffs and landscape walls, it will form a rounded 20 to 30 inch mound of arching stems, foliage, and in sunny gardens. Since it will lean toward light when planted in shade, it can be used behind logs, rocks, or other objects to create interesting effects. Contrary to popular opinion, goldenrods do not cause hay fever. They are insect pollinated and their is too heavy to be airborne. All of the goldenrod species are beneficial to wildlife, but not all are desirable in a garden setting. The ones that spread can become a problem unless their spreading is curtailed to a desirable size. We only sell clump-forming species. Cliff goldenrod is not only one of the best goldenrods of the twenty some species in Missouri, it is also one of the best native perennial plants, ranking right up there with In- dian pink, Spigelia marilandica, celandine poppy, Stylophorum diphyllum, and shining blue star, Amsonia illustris.

2 Do we have any plants that are deer/rabbit resistant? FAQsThere is a new icon in the “Price List and Selection Guide” for deer resistant species (p. 23-32). Will these plants come back every year? Almost all of our potted plants are perennial, living many years. For each species, the “Price List & Selection Guide” (p. 23- 32) has a column designating annual (one year), biennial (two) or perennial. Most of the annuals will return each year as long as some fall on bare, exposed soil. Is it all right to plant these now? This is a question that we’ve been asked in all twelve months. March through May and September to mid-October are the most convenient times to get them established. However, potted native perennials can be planted any time. From June through August it is okay to plant as long as they can be watered some during dry periods. November through February works as long as the soil is not too wet or frozen, but don’t expect to see growth until it is time in the spring. Our plants are always “hardened off,” because they are not grown in heated greenhouses. How often do I need to water the plants? Most native perennials only need extra water while getting established. Afterwards, only water natives in garden settings to keep them from going dormant. With a good watering and a one-time mulching at the time of planting, additional watering at intervals of one to two weeks (or as needed) should be adequate to get them established. Putting a plant in conditions that match its moisture requirements is important. Will these plants spread all over? They won’t take over a yard because they can’t survive the height requirement of a lawn. That’s why species that spread by rhizomes, like native bamboo (cane), can be kept in check if there is lawn surrounding the planting. Many of the natives do produce viable seeds (a good thing for wildlife), and the seeds do take advantage of openings with bare soil, the same as annual weeds. But once established, a mix of native perennial plants will eliminate places for both weed and wildflower seeds to germinate. What plants attract butterflies but not bees? Most plants that are pollinated by are generalists, relying on multiple species, including butterflies and bees. The bees’ short legs allow them to be more efficient at the task of pollination than butterflies. Many native plants, as well as a lot of our food crops, depend heavily on pollination. Environmentally, it is a good thing to have bees around. When bees (and wasps) are out foraging they will not defend their food source by stinging. How long has Missouri Wildflowers Nursery been in business? 2018 is our 35th year of providing local source MO native plants.
