Description
Solidago sempervirens 'Golden Waves' is a variety of Goldenrod that produces sumptuous, more or less horizontal panicles with large heads that differ from classic goldenrods with their tiny heads. It blooms from summer to autumn, above stems carrying large glossy green leaves, immune to powdery mildew. From July or August depending on the climate, its generous panicles of emerald green flowers appear, gracefully drooping and gradually taking on the beautiful golden yellow hue that will illuminate the garden until late in the season. A superb perennial, hardy, easy to grow in non-scorching sun or light shade in any good garden soil, without root competition. Plant with blue shrubs, asters or purple to violet flowers.
Solidago sempervirens, also known as Evergreen Goldenrod, is a botanical species widespread along the entire east coast of North America, from Labrador to the Gulf of Mexico, and inland to the Great Lakes region. It is a large fleshy herbaceous perennial, belonging to the Asteraceae family, just like asters. Very similar to Solidago canadensis, it differs by its thick and smooth, slightly sheathing leaves. Its can range from 60 to 250 cm (24 to 98in) high. It usually grows on coastal edges in sandy soils, salt meadows, and estuaries in full sun or partial shade, not in very dry areas or, conversely, waterlogged areas.
The 'Golden Waves' cultivar was selected for its abundant flowering, especially in autumn, and its denser, more compact growth. This plant will reach 1 m (3ft) high in flower and 60 cm (24in) wide. It forms a lush, dense, flexible clump of numerous leafy stems. It flowers from July-August to October, in the form of long, slender inflorescences that change from emerald green to golden yellow. These are light-looking panicles, composed of small daisy-like heads, 6 to 10 mm (0in) wide, organized in branched and feathery clusters. They appear at the tips of robust, smooth stems, slightly arched at their tips, carrying alternate, smooth-edged shiny medium green leaves. This goldenrod disappears in late autumn and reappears in spring.
These perennials are highly appreciated for their late flowering, some varieties close to botanical species such as Solidago sempervirens 'Golden Waves' deserve a place in the ornamental garden when they take up minimum space. They are robust plants that withstand cold, wind, salt spray and some sun, and are immune to powdery mildew. Their yellow flowers are particularly warm, welcome in autumn beds and in front of shrubs with vibrant colours (deciduous euonymus, Persian Ironwood, smokebush, oakleaf hydrangea...). Solidago sempervirens 'Golden Waves' can be planted alone or in groups of three near porcelain blue asters (Aster novi-belgii Porzellan) or purple asters (Aster turbinellus), Buenos Aires verbena (Verbena bonariensis), Crambe cordifolia, or the lesser-known Kalimeris mongolica, for example. Its flowers hold well when cut, and they can also be dried before fully blooming for dried arrangements.

Planting and care
Plant Solidago Golden Waves in non-scorching sun or partial shade, in any well-draining, loose soil. It thrives best in sandy soils that are moist, slightly acidic, neutral, or even alkaline, although it can tolerate poor soils and withstand short periods of drought very well. Chosse a spot sheltered from strong winds that could flatten the clumps. In hot regions, mulch the base in summer to maintain moisture.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
