“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. ”

“The smaller flowers of this plant attract many insects like butterflies, moths, long tongued bees, short tongued bees, beetles, etc; Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus (Goldenrod Soldier Beetle) and Epicauta pensylvanica (Black Blister Beetle) are the most attracted to this plants flowers! Swamp Sparrows and Eastern Goldfinches have been known to feed on the seeds of this plant as well.”
