Upland White Goldenrod (Oligoneuron album)

$5.00

Apparently, very little is known about floral-faunal relationships for Upland White Goldenrod. It does seem to attract many pollinators, including the Karner’s Blue and the rare Poweshiek Skipperling. Some sources seem to treat this like a goldenrod and suggest that it supports the same number of specialist bees (43), but I could not confirm that across the board. It is an attractive plant, so it is worth a spot in the garden to see what visits.
