Joyce Coomer: Never considered Goldenrod invasive She also suggests, for those who dislike Goldenrod, that mowing may actually help additional propagation of the flower By Joyce Coomer I have never considered goldenrod to be an invasive plant as it's no more wide-spread in our pasture now than it was nearly 30 years ago when we bought this farm. There are places growing goldenrod and iron weed, places growing poke, places growing Queen Anne's lace, places growing all of these combined, places growing Johnson grass (which is VERY invasive), places growing yellow flowers I haven't been able to identify, places growing wild asters, etc. . . . I've always considered goldenrod a peaceful plant as it hasn't taken over the pasture. Maybe mowing increases the spreading of goldenrod -- the action of the mower would spread the seeds over a wider area than if the seeds just drop to the ground. We don't mow the entire pasture every year since we like to have a place for wildlife to take refuge. Joyce M. Coomer This story was posted on 2013-09-27 11:45:32
