Tiny Yellow Flowers

These wonderful splashes of vivid yellow throughout prairies are a lovely addition to butterfly gardens. Goldenrod will grow almost everywhere as they are native throughout North America.
Goldenrod does not cause sneezing like people originally thought, which is great for the home gardeners.
