Naturally occurring in moist soils, Euthamia graminifolia is a great addition to wet meadows and rain gardens, but it will withstand drier conditions once established. Tolerant of part shade, it prefers full sun and and attracts butterflies, bees, and beetles with its flat-topped clusters of yellow flowers that appear in mid to late summer. It looks best in meadow gardens and naturalistic plantings where it can grow in and amongst other robust flowering perennials and grasses. In ideal conditions (sunny and moist), this species will grow quickly and may outcompete more delicate plants. Flat-topped goldenrod is one of 20 species featured in the Xerces Society resource ‘Monarch Nectar Plants’ for the Northeast region.
