Solidago canadensis
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) is a species of flowering plant native to much of eastern North America. Its vigorous growth, along with colorful yellow flowers, make it a popular choice for landscaping and pollinator gardens. It grows up to three feet tall and prefers moist, sunny environments, although it can tolerate some shade. The flowers bloom in late summer or early fall, spreading their vibrant color and sweet fragrance. Its beautiful form and hardiness make it a valuable addition to any garden, wild or cultivated.

watering
For Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) it is best to give the plant a moderate amount of water when the soil begins to dry out. It will depend on the humidity level and temperature in your region, but the goldenrod can generally be watered once a week amounting to 1 cup per tall plant. Adding a layer of organic mulch around the plant can help to preserve soil moisture, allowing for more infrequent watering. It's important to never let the soil dry out completely.
sunlight
Canadian goldenrod is an able survivor; it is drought and shade tolerant, and can thrive in sun or part-shade. It does its best in a location that receives full sun for at least 8 hours of the day, but it will also tolerate a bit less sunlight. On a sunny summer day it will do well if you provide it with 6–7 hours of light; it would be best to locate it in an area that receives morning sun, and if possible, some shade in the afternoon to offer protection from the intense rays that can be damaging to the plant.
pruning
Canadian Goldenrod should be pruned in late winter or early spring prior to new growth. Cut back the stem to about 4 inches from the ground. This will encourage stronger, bushier growth. Remove all dead foliage or unhealthy foliage before brewing. Additionally, prune any stems that are crossing other stems or growing too close together. This will help to promote good air circulation and strong new growth.
