Native to open woodlands of the East and Southeast U.S., Solidago odora is named for the licorice fragrance given off by the leaves when crushed. The dense spires of golden-yellow flowers provide a burst of late season color in light shade.
All Goldenrods support a host of pollinator and insect activity, and this goldenrod is no exception. The Wavy-Lined Emerald uses Anise Goldenrod as a larval host, as do numerous other smaller moths.
Planting and Cultivation Notes
Goldenrods are often blamed as the cause of hay fever, which is an allergic reaction to wind-borne pollen. Most native wildflowers, including Goldenrods, do not have wind-borne pollen. Instead, the pollen is moved from bloom to bloom by bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
