The Official Nebraska State Flower

Solidago virgaurea

The Solidago virgaurea, commonly known as the Goldenrod, is the Nebraska state flower. The Goldenrod is a perennial flower native to Europe, Africa and North America. It has bright yellow clusters of tiny flowers and grows to a height of two to four feet. It is an incredibly hardy plant and can grow in a variety of soils, including rocky and sandy areas. The Goldenrod was chosen as the Nebraska state flower because of its hardiness and its enduring presence throughout the state. It is also the state flower of Alabama, which is fitting as Nebraska was once part of the Alabama Territory. In 1895, the Nebraska Legislature specified that the Goldenrod would be the state flower, making it the first state to select a wildflower. The Goldenrod is a symbol of strength, endurance, and resilience, making it a fitting choice for Nebraska's state flower.
