Plant information
Much like its cousin, Euthamia caroliniana, Grass-leaved Goldenrod has slender leaves and tiny yellow flowers. Both species were formely classified as Solidago (goldenrod) but have been moved into a separate genus, Euthamia, and are no longer considered a true goldenrod. It is a slightly taller plant with a fuller, bushy stature, and the yellow flowers have a distinct shiny appearance.
 
Unlike its cousin, this one can be pushy, and will fill in large areas quickly given ideal conditions. It can’t quite hold its own against Canada goldenrod, but be sure to plant this one in an area where you need a strong native to take charge. It will grow in dry to moist soils, but thrives in moist, sunny areas.
 
Euthamia graminifolia spreads by seed and rhizome, with the seeds presenting much like goldenrods with their fluffy seeds heads dispersed by the wind. Easily sown directly into the soil surface in the late fall, you can also cold stratify these seeds for at least 2 months. Surface sow.
