Zigzag Goldenrod adds color to a woodland garden in late summer and early fall and attracts multiple pollinators. The seeds attract sparrows, pine siskins and meadow mice.
Zigzag Goldenrod is easily grown in average, medium soil in sun-dappled part shade and spreads easily. This plant can be aggressive, so plant it with ferns and other tough cookies. The foliage is browsed by deer.
