Have not tried the 'Golden Fleece" goldenrod. I have very limited space on the
west side of my garden. I did try the species rigid goldenrod for its unusual
appearance. Was happy with it for two years and then dug it out, gave it away. If
I tried anything new along the golden rod cultivars or hybrids it would be the
dwarfs. I wonder if many people are aware that there are species goldenrods that
grow in shade. Now, my partner JoAn, would be interested in the Coreopsis Sweet
Dreams for her raised beds.... I will mention it to her.
