Flat-Top Goldentop, Grass-Leaved Goldenrod, Solidago graminifolia, Solidago lanceolata, Chrysocoma graminifolia
Euthamia graminifolia (Grass-Leaved Goldenrod) is an upright, erect perennial wildflower with many-branched inflorescences atop leafy branched stems. Blooming from mid-summer to fall, they bear dense, flat-topped clusters of 20-35 pale to bright yellow flowers. The upper half of the plant appears bushy due to its branched stems and grass-like, narrow to linear, alternate leaves. The leaves emit a scent when crushed. Grass-Leaved Goldenrod provides a nectar source for pollinators, including long-tongued bees, short-tongued bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, moths, and beetles. Its dried seeds provide a food source for songbirds. Deer and rabbits enjoy browsing the plant. Adding a bold splash of color in the late-season landscape, Grass-Leaved Goldenrod is a vigorous rhizomatous perennial that spreads aggressively to form colonies. Found in moist meadows, prairies, roadsides, conifer swamps, or sandy moist shorelines through most of North America, Grass-Leaved Goldenrod is a good choice for erosion control, wildlife gardens, or meadows.
