Euthamia graminifolia

Common Name: Grass-leaved Goldenrod

Grass-leaved Goldenrod is a perennial that grows 2 to 4 feet tall, featuring narrow, lance-shaped leaves and dense, flat-topped clusters of small, yellow flowers that bloom from July to September. It is commonly found in moist to wet habitats such as meadows, ditches, fens, and shores, preferring sandy to gravelly soils and full sun. This species is valuable for pollinator gardens, attracting bees and butterflies, and is suitable for wetland restorations and naturalized areas.

Sowing Information

For most homeowners, the recommended method is to hand-broadcast seed at a minimum rate of 16–64 PLS (Pure Live Seed) ounces per acre. To ensure even coverage, broadcast the seed in perpendicular passes across the site. Grass seed should be broadcast first and lightly raked into the soil. Afterward, apply a light mulch layer using clean, seed-free straw or, preferably, our native Little Bluestem straw, available at our retail garden centers. Once mulching is complete, broadcast native wildflower seed over the area without raking it in. A good rainfall or thorough watering will provide sufficient soil contact for successful germination.

Planting Information

Dig a hole in your planting site slightly larger than the plant’s root system. When placing the plant into the hole, ensure that the soil line remains consistent with its original level in the pot. Fill in around the roots with the excavated soil, gently firming it to eliminate air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly the same day to promote successful establishment.
