HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the stiff goldenrod seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Mature plants prefer rather moist soil, though they do tolerate some drought. The stiff goldenrod plant attracts bees and butterflies. It will self-seed, though it does not usually become aggressive.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: As the blooming fades, the plumes will turn from yellow to white as they develop the seed. The Solidago Rigida seed can easily fly away on the wind because of its white fluff and should be gathered as soon as possible. Strip the seed from the stems, and remove as much plant material as possible. Store the stiff goldenrod seed in a cool, dry place.
