“Grey goldenrod is a North American native that has been gaining recognition among ecologically minded gardeners in recent years. The 'Pollinatehv Local Ecotype' designation suggests this is a locally adapted strain, selected and maintained by seed savers focused on pollinator support and regional growing conditions. Rather than a named heirloom with centuries of human cultivation, this variety represents a modern conservation movement toward preserving native plant genetics and supporting the insects that depend on them.”
