ough Nugget is a compact native goldenrod offering late-season color in a diminutive package. This exclusive Proven Winners introduction showcases the alpine goldenrod (Cutler's alpine goldenrod) native to sunny mountain regions of New England and northern New York. Growing just 12-15 inches tall with an 18-24 inch spread, it breaks the stereotype of towering, aggressive goldenrods. Tiny yellow flowers cluster in cheerful tufts across the plant from August through September, providing critical late-summer nectar for pollinators when few other plants bloom. Thriving in Zones 4-8 with full sun, this tough perennial adapts to various conditions while maintaining compact form. Perfect for rock gardens, front borders, native landscapes, and pollinator gardens where space is limited but impact is desired.
