Morphology
The phrase 'golden glow' is a straightforward adjective + noun combination meaning a glow that is golden (gold-colored light); this composition is directly derivable from 'golden' (gold-colored) + 'glow' (gentle light). Even when used as a plant name, the label is descriptive of the flowers' appearance, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the basic meaning.
Etymology
Golden glow comes from the plant's many bright yellow flowers that seem to make the stems and garden shine. The words golden and glow describe that bright, shining color, so the name refers to a 'tall, bright yellow garden flower'.
