watering
Ouachita Mountain goldenrod should be watered consistently to ensure proper growth. Depending on soil type, climate and other environmental factors, the plant may require more or less water. In general, plants of this species should be watered thoroughly once a week to a depth of 1-2 inches. If the soil is very dry (such as during periods of drought), water the plant 2 to 3 times a week to a depth of 1-2 inches. During periods of very hot and dry weather, water may need to be applied more frequently, such as every other day. Make sure the soil has dried out between watering to prevent root rot or other issues. Too little water can be just as damaging as too much.
