Okay, this one’s not quite a yard. But can you imagine these rhizomes weaving through each other–and the crowns of your cultivated plants? And then more goldenrod grows from these rhizomes.

Thank you for the information AND THE PICTURES! Had one of these show up in my garden and had no idea what it was. It stands over 6 ft tall and has only now bloomed. Tried to identify it on the web from its flowers and leaves with no luck. Finally, for some unknown reason, Goldenrod popped into my mind and whalla! Thanks for the clear information.
