100 Upland White Goldenrod Seeds - Oligoneuron album Native Prairie Wildflower

Upland White Goldenrod, botanically known as Oligoneuron album (formerly Solidago ptarmicoides), is a charming native perennial wildflower that brings late-season beauty to prairies, meadows, and pollinator gardens. Unlike its taller goldenrod relatives, this species forms compact clumps of narrow, dark green leaves topped with flat clusters of bright white, daisy-like flowers from midsummer into early fall. Its understated elegance and long bloom period make it a standout in naturalized plantings and border edges.

This adaptable wildflower is a valuable addition to native plant landscapes, rock gardens, and pollinator-friendly spaces. The nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, while the seeds provide food for birds. Upland White Goldenrod is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens and restoration projects.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow in late fall. For indoor sowing, cold stratify seeds for 30 days by placing them in a moist medium in the refrigerator. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14-30 days.

Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and harden off gradually before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Upland White Goldenrod is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms, or leave seed heads for birds. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
