SWEET GOLDENROD

Solidago odora - The State Herb of Delaware
Solidago odora Adopted June 24, 1996, Sweet Goldenrod (Solidago odora) was named Delaware’s State herb. Members of the Delaware Herb Growers and Marketers Association suggested that the herb “Solidago odora”, commonly known as “Sweet Goldenrod”, because of its beautiful golden blossoms, would be especially appropriate as the designated herb.
State Code § 313. State herb. Solidago odora, commonly known as "sweet golden rod," shall be the official herb of the State. (70 Del. Laws, c. 386, § 1.)
Sweet Goldenrod is both indigenous to Delaware and widespread throughout the state where it is commonly found in our coastal areas and along the edges of marshes and thickets.
