watering
Goldenrod should be watered on a regular basis, about once a week or when the top 2 inches of soil appear dry to the touch. Make sure you water thoroughly, giving the plant a good soaking each watering. The soil should no be too soggy or too dry. Over-watering Goldenrod can cause root rot and other plant diseases.
sunlight
Goldenrod (Solidago 'Gold Spangles') likes full sun to partial shade, meaning the plant should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. Keep it in an area that gets sunlight for a good part of the day, with some protection from the hottest midday sun. Having some afternoon shade will also help prevent wilting of the foliage due to the intense heat.
pruning
Goldenrod (Solidago 'Gold Spangles') should be pruned once a year in the late winter or early spring, before it starts to produce new growth. Prune this plant back by cutting off the old flower stalks all the way to the ground. Also, pruning any dead or damaged stems will help to promote healthy new growth in the spring. In the late summer, you may also want to lightly trim any branches that have become overextended to keep the plant's growth in check.
