early goldenrod

Early Goldenrod (Solidago gigantea) should be watered once a week with about 1 inch of water this time of year. Make sure the soil remains moist but not soggy, and that the drainage is adequate. You may need to water a little more or less depending upon soil type and climate. The best way to check if it needs watering is to check the soil 2-3 inches down; if it's dry, it's time to water.

Early goldenrod (Solidago gigantea) is a species of hardy perennial that enjoys plenty of sunlight for optimum growth. Generally, as with other plants and crops, early goldenrod should receive full sun for 6 or more hours per day. Although it does bloom later in the season when the hours of daylight are shorter, providing early goldenrod with plenty of sunlight earlier on in the season can help them produce more flowers. To ensure the most productive growing season, it’s best to provide early goldenrod with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Additionally, midday sunlight is considered to be beneficial for the overall health and growth of early goldenrod.

Early goldenrod (Solidago Gigantea) should be pruned once a year, typically in the fall. Pruning helps maintain a neat, attractive shape and encourages new growth. While this plant is a fast-grower, careful pruning is essential to keep it from becoming overgrown. The recommended pruning techniques involve light pruning of the stems, removing any dead or damaged foliage, and thinning out of overly dense areas so that air and light can reach the center of the plant. For best results, prune early goldenrod after flowering has begun, with the primary pruning taking place shortly after this period.
