Botanical Name: Solidago virgaurea
Country of Origin: United States
English Name: Goldenrod Herb C/S
French Name: Verge d’Or Coupée
Also Known As: European Goldenrod
Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves, flowering tops, and tender stems) of Solidago virgaurea
Description: Goldenrod Herb C/S is prepared from the aerial parts of Solidago virgaurea, a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. The plant typically grows between 30 and 100 centimetres tall, producing upright stems with narrow, lance-shaped green leaves. During the flowering season, clusters of small yellow flowers form along the upper portions of the stems, creating the characteristic golden appearance of the plant. Harvesting is carried out when the plant is in bloom to ensure consistent colour, structure, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the aerial parts are carefully cleaned to remove soil and natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green and yellow tones of the leaves and flowers. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing lightweight, free-flowing pieces with visible leaf sections, flower fragments, and fine stem portions. This process maintains the botanical identity of Solidago virgaurea while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished Goldenrod Herb C/S displays a mix of soft green leaves, yellow floral pieces, and slender stems. The material remains stable during storage, retaining its visual identity and mild herbaceous aroma. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending across applications.
Uses: Goldenrod Herb C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and botanical preparations where dried aerial plant material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating perennial flowering plant morphology. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable plant fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
