Euthamia graminifolia

flat-top goldenrod

Flat-topped or grass-leaved goldenrod is a striking yet common species throughout the US and Canada; this rhizomatous, colony-forming wildflower will grow in dry to moist soil so long as it gets enough light. If it does, expect an aggressive, bushy, abundantly blooming colony ideal for naturalizing and for erosion control over wide areas. Its habit may be a turn-off to some, but its dense plumes of flowers are as eye-catching for us as they are to pollinators.

Interesting Notes:

Common grass-leaved-goldenrod attracts many species of pollinators, including bees. It is found throughout New England in moist habitats but, once established, can tolerate drier conditions.
