WHAT IS GOLDENROD?

As quoted from Wikipedia:

Solidago, commonly called goldenrods, is a genus of about 100 to 120 species of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. Most are herbaceous perennial species found in open areas such as meadows, prairies, and savannas.

As quoted from wildediblefood.com:

“Most Goldenrod plants average 1 metre in height. … Edible parts: All aerial parts of the plant can be used. The flowers are edible and make attractive garnishes on salads. Flowers and leaves (fresh or dried) are used to make tea.”

When Does Goldenrod Bloom?

Goldenrod Flower starts blooming in Mid-Late August, continues through September, and into early October.
