Goldenrod Honey is derived from the Goldenrods (botanical name Solidago), a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceaethat can be found in the meadows, pastures, wild fields, along roads in Canada. It is a common type of honey found in North America.

History of Goldenrod

Goldenrods are also used for making tea and decorations and in some places they are a sign of good luck and fortune. Although considered weeds by many in North America, they are appreciated as garden plants in Europe, where British gardeners adopted them as garden subjects way before Americans began to accept them in the 1980s.

Goldenrods often will bloom from about July until a killing frost.
