Upland White Goldenrod (Oligoneuron album)

Upland White Goldenrod (Oligoneuron album)

This one catches people off guard — yes, it’s a goldenrod! But with bright white daisy-like flowers instead of yellow plumes. Upland White Goldenrod blooms arrive in late summer and keep going into fall, offering a crisp, unexpected contrast to all the warm tones around it.

It stays low and compact, so it’s easy to tuck into the front of a bed or let it spill between rocks and along paths. A quiet stunner

Wildlife Value
Despite its unusual look, this is a true goldenrod — and that means it supports native pollinators in a big way. It attracts bees, wasps, and small butterflies in late summer when nectar sources start to dwindle. Host plant for several goldenrod-specialist insects, including some native gall midges and leaf miners found in Wisconsin.

Blooms Alongside: Dotted blazing star (Liatris punctata), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), stiff goldenrod (Solidago rigida), hoary vervain (Verbena stricta, Wild Petunia (Ruellia humilis)
