Description
California Goldenrod (Solidago velutina ssp. californica) adds brilliant late-season color to native and pollinator gardens. Its bright yellow flower spikes appear in late summer and fall, providing vital nectar for butterflies and bees.

This adaptable perennial thrives in a variety of soils and light exposures, from sunny meadows to lightly shaded borders. It’s drought-tolerant once established yet appreciates occasional deep watering for extended bloom. Perfect for adding warm color and supporting native pollinators in East Bay water-wise gardens.
