Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Roan Mountain goldenrod is a native to open rocky clearings in the Appalachian mountains from Pennsylvania to Alabama. It makes a tight clump of vertical stalks to 30 inches tall, which open in early July as branched bottlebrush-like flowers of bright yellow. Foliage is green, ovate to lance-like, and basal. This goldenrod tends to be narrower than other species and so can be tucked into existing landscapes with ease.
