Goldenrod’s Winter Majesty

I’m not sure if Goldenrod brings as much happiness in winter to others as it does for me. The tall, herbaceous perennial stands above other shrubs and even dwarf trees; its large winterized seedhead looks almost like fluffy snowflakes piled together in a panicle; it dances in the wind and adds motion to dull urban and suburban vistas. Goldenrod majestic in winter – and this important pollinator plant deserves some love in gardens.
