Description

Euthamia graminifolia, commonly known as the grass-leaved goldenrod, is a native North American perennial that brings a delicate, golden touch to meadows, prairies, and open woodlands. This graceful goldenrod forms dense, upright clumps of slender, grass-like foliage that sways gently in the breeze. In late summer to fall, the plant bursts forth with clusters of small, bright yellow flower heads that create a showy, plume-like display. These cheerful blooms attract a variety of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and moths, making Euthamia graminifolia a valuable addition to wildlife gardens and naturalized plantings. Beyond its visual appeal, this goldenrod species plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems, providing food and shelter for a diversity of insects, birds, and small mammals. Adaptable to a range of soil conditions and tolerant of full sun to partial shade, the grass-leaved goldenrod is a resilient, low-maintenance choice for adding season-long interest and ecological benefits to meadows, prairies, and mixed perennial borders.
