 Solidago rigida or Oligoneuron rigidum is also called Stiff Goldenrod, Rigid goldenrod and Prairie Goldenrod.  Stiff goldenrod can be used for roadside plantings, wildlife food/habitat, and wildflower gardens.  Solidago rigida is one of the best wildflowers for late fall blooming and is very showy with larger heads and flower clusters than most goldenrods.  The bright yellow flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, Goldfinches, and other small birds feed on its seeds. The large softly hairy leaves are attractive all summer turning a dusty rose in autumn.  Stiff Goldenrod is best grown in full sun and well drained garden soil.

Solidago rigida Stiff Goldenrod plants with their distinctive foliage and showy flowers are beautiful when grown in the butterfly garden, cutting garden, or in a prairie meadow with Echinacea  (Coneflower), Ratibida (Prairie Coneflower), Liatris (Blazing Star),  Monarda (Wild Bergamot) and Big Bluestem grass.  Solidago rigida seeds germinate without pretreatment.

Native Solidago rigida wildflowers occur naturally in prairies, meadows, and savannas from Massachusetts and New York to Saskatchewan, south to Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.   Asteraceae (Aster Family)
