Wichita Mountain Goldenrod

Wichita mountain goldenrod is an unidentified species originally collected from Oklahoma. Throughout the growing season, it is not that noticeable. But in early fall, it grows multiple upright, bottle brush-like spikes of vibrant yellow flowers.

This plant is very attractive to bees and butterflies. It is a beautiful fall bloomer that adds spectacular color right before the first fall frost.
