A spectacular fall-fireworks display

NAME:'Firework' goldenrod(Soildago rugosa 'Firework')
Zone:5 to 9
Size:2 to 4 feet tall and wide
Condition: Full sun ; well-drained soil
Peak Time: Late summer to midfall

In late summer, this shrublike perennial erupts into arupts into arching sprays of
tiny yellow flowers. A cultivar of a southeastern United State native, 'Fireworks'
goldenrod is low maintenance and unattractive to deer.
But butterflies like it, and it make a great cut flower.
