Beautiful perennial in a bucket, it's a shame that the pre-cut cardboard system (very ingenious) isn't used properly—since the center isn't opened, the young plant is crushed where the new leaves emerge. The same issue was noted with the sages...

Description
Solidago 'Golden Baby' (also known as 'Goldkind') is a new variety of Canadian Goldenrod with a particularly compact habit and early and prolonged flowering. This perennial is adorned with clusters of bright yellow flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators from July on a sturdy plant. Its modest growth, slow development, and non-invasive nature make it suitable even for the smallest gardens. It is a superb and easy-to-grow plant that thrives in the sun, in any garden soil that does not dry out too much.
Solidago Golden Baby is a horticultural hybrid derived from Canadian Goldenrod. This woody-based perennial cousin of daisies and sunflowers belongs to the Asteraceae family. This variety is much more compact than the wild species from which it originates and does not spread through suckering. This plant will not exceed 60 cm (24in) high when flowering and 50 cm (20in) wide, forming a dense, upright clump of leafy stems. Flowering will continue from July to September if faded flowers are removed. The flowers take the form of golden-yellow, feathery panicles composed of tiny daisy-like heads in branched and feathery spikes. They appear at the ends of sturdy stems, bearing opposite, elongated, light green leaves with slightly toothed edges and a rough texture. The vegetation of this goldenrod is deciduous, disappearing in late autumn and reappearing in spring.
Goldenrod is much appreciated for its late flowering. Modern varieties have replaced the old invasive ones which were of little ornamental interest. They are robust plants that only dislike excessive heat and drought, which can cause powdery mildew on the foliage. Solidago 'Golden Baby' can be planted individually or in groups of three, with asters (Aster Little Carlow, Aster Blue Wonder), cosmos, or veronicas (Veronica Blue Candels, Veronica longifolia Marietta) for example. Its flowers hold up well when cut, and can be dried before fully blooming to be included in arrangements.

Planting and care
Plant 'Golden Baby' Solidago in full sun or partial shade, in any well-prepared, loose soil, sheltered from strong winds that could flatten it. In hot regions, mulch the base in summer to maintain moisture as this variety hates soil which is dry in summer. Avoid excessive heat and humidity, which can cause powdery mildew.

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).
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 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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
