Growing Tips for Zizia aurea

Golden Alexanders is a hardy native perennial that grows well in full sun to part shade. It prefers medium to moist, well-drained soil and adapts to a range of conditions. Little maintenance is needed; cut back spent blooms to keep plants tidy or leave seed heads for wildlife. Fertilizer is not required. Great for garden beds, borders, and naturalized areas, and attracts pollinators in spring.
