This is because the showy flowers of the GOLDENROD appear at the same time the Ragweeds bloom with flowers that produce the airborne pollens largely responsible for the hay fever experienced in the fall. The Goldenrod Leavces are attached individually to the stem. The Ragweed Leaves look more ‘fern-like’. See pictures below
Goldenrod flower tea is used to relieve pollen allergies. A large amount of the flowers are harvested in late summer or early autumn and dried for spring use.
