tall goldenrod
giant goldenrod
solidago gigantea latin

Red sumac looks gorgeous surrounded by tall goldenrod.

Its common name is giant goldenrod.

Much to the amusement of some of my gardening friends, I let a few giant goldenrod into my vegetable garden, and use them as cut flowers.

I COULDN'T believe that the giant goldenrod was still blooming in late December, when the temperature was only 32 degrees.
