You know Goldfinch is one of my absolute favorites because I have the most pictures of it. It’s an early bloomer; and I can’t decide if I like the blooms or the foliage more. For those who don’t grow much filler to add to arrangements; Goldfinch is going to be your best friend. The greenery and buds on Goldfinch add the perfect extra oomph to any arrangement.
The small 1 1/2-2 inch cheery blooms are fantastic. Depending on the age of the blooms, they can be completely yellow, or show accents of white, rose and red. The stem strength is beyond comparison. The most floriferous plant I grow by a landslide. You can’t cut enough to keep this workhorse down. Sturdy, deep burgundy stems add striking contrast to the bright blooms, making it a favorite for cut flower growers and florists alike.
This variety produces abundantly and holds beautifully in the vase; an ideal choice for any bouquet. I joke that if I could have Goldfinch in every color I would be smitten. Well, I got a completely white Goldfinch sport that I’m hoping stays true over the next few seasons that I’ll be able to share (pic at the end). Don’t pass up Goldfinch. It is extraordinary. Plant height 4’. Hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens and introduced in 2025.
