Grass-leaved Goldenrod
Euthamia graminifolia
Solidago graminifolia
Grass-leaved Goldenrod is a clump-forming perennial wildflower recognized for its slender, grass-like leaves and airy clusters of small, bright yellow flowers. Blooming from mid to late summer, it serves as an important nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. This species thrives in moist meadows, roadsides ditches, and wetland edges. Grass-leaved Goldenrod is highly adaptable, tolerating both seasonally dry and moist soils, making it an excellent addition to naturalized landscapes and pollinator gardens.
