goldenrod

Goldenrod (Solidago sphacelata 'Golden Fleece') should be watered once or twice a week during the growing season. During the warmer months (April-September), make sure to water your goldenrod deeply. This means that you should water your goldenrod slowly and steadily and allow it to soak up the water for several minutes, to reach the plant's roots. Be sure to check your soil moisture prior to watering, and only water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. In the cooler months (October-March), water your goldenrod more lightly, only when needed. During winter, a good guide is to water your goldenrod about once or twice a month. When you do water, make sure the water can easily penetrate the soil, and that there’s no standing water around the plant. As always, make sure to adjust your watering schedule depending on the specific weather or climate conditions.

For the goldenrod (Solidago sphacelata 'Golden Fleece'), the optimal amount of sunlight is 6 to 8 hours a day. It is best for the goldenrod to receive this sunlight early in the morning when temperatures are cooler. In addition, this plant prefers partial shade, meaning that it should receive direct sunlight for a few hours and then filtered sunlight throughout the day.

Goldenrod (Solidago sphacelata 'Golden Fleece') should be pruned twice a year, in early spring and late summer. In early spring, prune the plant back to sixteen inches/forty centimeters above the ground level. This will allow plenty of room for healthy new growth. In late summer, prune back the plant by 1-third of its overall size to promote a more compact,Bushes appearance. Avoid pruning goldenrod in late spring or early summer, as this will inhibit the ability of the plant to flower and set seed.
