Goldenrod is a plant of the genus Solidago. The name means "to make whole". It's a perennial plant of the aster family and a popular component in herbal supplements.

Native to Europe, the plant is now found in Asia, Azores, North America, and South America.

Goldenrod plants are easy to grow in full sun. But the soil must be dry to medium and well-drained to create a suitable environment for the plant to grow.

The goldenrod plant has bright yellow flowers on the top of tall, woody stems. These flowers bloom in dense clusters, which are easy to identify from July through September. The average width of each flower is around one-quarter inch.

You can mostly find these plants along roadsides. They also grow in open fields.
