If you’d love a Goldernrods but have a small garden, then this dwarf variety, typically growing to only 14” tall and 18” wide, is perfect for you. The clump-forming plant is noted for having a compact basal branching habit. Its small stature generally makes it perfect as an edging plant or upfront in the perennial border.
