\n
If you are pruning your goldenrod for a fuller showing later this fall you can do it during June so you are almost past the optimal time to do it.\u00a0 Also consider the amount of the plant you are removing.\u00a0 In general, removing more than a quarter or third of the height will set the plant back and taking less off might mean a top heavy plant. Earlier in the season that would be lower down so the plant will be fuller farther down.<\/div>\n

You can take stem cuttings in June if you are looking to propagate\u00a0the plant but again it is late in the month so the success rate will be impacted by the hotter weather ahead. The last thing to consider is if it is the native plant or a cultivar.\u00a0 Cultivars sometimes have a mind of their own so if you have a lot of it you might want to just do some of them and see what happens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
