Nebraska State Flower

Goldenrod

The Goldenrod (Soldiago gigantea) was declared the state flower on April 4, 1895. An article written by Ida Brockman said: "There is probably not a nook or corner of the state where one or more of the numerous species of goldenrod are not found. It is a native, and only a true native should be our representative. It has a long season, and nothing could better represent the hardy endurance of Nebraska's pioneers."
