Features of caring for goldenrod

The best time to plant a bush is spring. Solidago grows quite quickly and will decorate your garden with its blooms in the same year. Before planting solidago, the soil should be prepared a little: add organic fertilizers, carefully dig up the soil and prepare a planting hole. The young plant should be watered until it is completely established. In the future, watering should only be done on very hot and dry days.

Solidago can grow in sunny areas. Although the optimal environment for it is partial shade in the garden. Goldenrod is very easy to care for, for normal development and flowering, it is enough to keep the area near the bush without weeds and with loose soil.
