Often associated with hay fever, Goldenrod is a plant that produces a bright yellow Goldenrod flower. Goldenseal does not cause hay fever but it is often thought to because of the time of its blooming. Goldenrod blooms in late summer to early fall, about the same time as ragweed which does cause hay fever. Goldenrod is propagated by insects and not by air. Goldenrod genus holds about 100 species and until they bloom in late summer Goldenrod is often hard to distinguish.
