  Mid green, lance-shaped narrow leaves, lightly toothed on the edges, bring forth terminal clusters of tiny, long-lasting, golden yellow flowers spreading horizontally like miniature autumn larches. Suiting a variety of garden types, ‘Goldkind’ is a popular, compact choice for city gardens, and informal ‘prairie’ planting schemes.
  
  
• Garden care: Solidago will manage in the poorest of soils, with no additional watering or feeding requirements to make them perform on a regular basis, once they are established. Clumps can be revived and flowering performance improved by lifting, splitting and replanting in spring.
