Goldenrod - Goldrush Goldrush comes into the fall with masses of yellow flower clusters that almost block out the foliage for about a month. Place them in well drained soil and fertilize lightly. The Solidgao Goldrush should be planted in full sun and at the front of beds and borders or in containers. Goldrush exhibits a uniform, compact mound of tiny yellow flowers. Too much fertilzer will produce a lot of foliage and fewer flowers. The Solidago Goldrush, 'Solidago cutleri 'Goldrush', a Blooms of Bressingham plant, will provide a long season display of dazzling golden flowers. |
