description_en: Genus of about 100 species of woody-based perennials occurring on roadsides, prairies, and riverbanks; most are found in North America, a few in South America and Eurasia. They are valued for their small, elongated flowerheads, borne in one-sided, upward-facing racemes or spike-like panicles. Stiff, branched stems bear alternate, narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped, entire or toothed, prominently veined, usually mid-green leaves, 10-30cm (4-12in) or more long. Most species are coarse and invasive, and are best grown in a wild garden, although S. virgaurea subsp. minuta is suitable for a rock garden. Named hybrids are robust, less invasive, and more colourful, with slightly larger flowerheads. They are ideal for a late-summer border or wild garden, and provide good cut flowers.
