Solidago canadensis, known as Canada goldenrod or Canadian goldenrod, is an herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae. [2] It is native to northeastern and north-central North America [ 3 ] and often forms colonies of upright growing plants, with many small yellow flowers in a branching inflorescence held above the foliage.
Goldenrod often is inaccurately said to cause hay fever in humans. [26] The pollen causing this allergic reaction is produced mainly by ragweed (Ambrosia sp.), blooming at the same time as the goldenrod and pollinated by wind. Goldenrod pollen is too heavy and sticky to be blown far from the flowers, and is pollinated mainly by insects. [26]
