Chapman's Goldenrod
Solidago chapmanii
Chapman's Goldenrod is a medium-sized goldenrod native to Florida and southeastern Georgia that grows 3-4 feet tall in dry sandy uplands. This deciduous species emerges in early spring and is one of the earliest goldenrods to bloom, producing irregular panicles of small yellow flowers from late summer through fall. This Goldenrod spreads slowly by underground runners without forming dense colonies. Thriving in well-drained soils and full sun, it's commonly found in longleaf pine sandhills, dry hammocks, and other xeric habitats, making it an excellent choice for naturalized plantings and pollinator gardens.
