bog goldenrod

Watering for a bog goldenrod (Solidago uliginosa) should be done every 7-14 days, depending on the soil moisture and the weather conditions. The soil should be kept moist but never soggy. If you are unsure if your plant needs water, stick your finger into the soil and if it's dry up to the first knuckle, it's time to water. Soak the soil and then give it a few days to dry before you water again.

Bog goldenrod (Solidago uliginosa) is a marsh and wetland-dwelling herbaceous perennial plant. It prefers full sun, but will tolerate light shade. The amount of sunlight the plant needs will depend on the soil type and other factors, but generally it should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It should be kept in an area that gets at least 8 hours of indirect light for the rest of the day. During the summer, bog goldenrod may need a total of 14 to 16 hours of sunlight each day. During the winter months it should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight. To provide adequate light, the plant should be placed within 1 foot (30 cm) of a sunny window or sun-facing deck or patio. Morning sunlight is best for bog goldenrod, as it helps the plant produce the bloom it needs for pollination.

Bog goldenrod (Solidago uliginosa) should be pruned in late summer or early fall, after it has finished blooming. It should be cut back by 1-third to 1-half of its height. This will promote new growth, shape, and even out the sizes of the plants when blooming the following year. It is important to not remove too much plant material or remove branches that have yet to flower. Make sure to clean any equipment used to prune with a mild solution of soap and water.
