Fun facts:  Research has documented that stiff goldenrod attracts a higher diversity of native bee species than almost any other goldenrod in its genus. Most goldenrods spread through underground rhizomes (roots), but the stiff goldenrod does not. Instead, they form neat, compact clumps and spread primarily by seed. Individual seeds are so small that a single seed can easily balance on the head of a pin
