Description

Solidago nemoralis, commonly known as Gray Goldenrod or Old Field Goldenrod, is a hardy perennial native to North America, thriving in dry, rocky, or sandy soils. This plant is typically found in open fields, prairies, and along roadsides, where it enjoys full sun and well-drained conditions. Old Field Goldenrod produces clusters of small, bright yellow flowers from late summer to fall, creating a vibrant display that attracts a variety of pollinators. The plant’s slender, arching stems and narrow, lance-shaped leaves add to its delicate appearance, making it a charming addition to naturalized gardens and wildflower meadows.

Old Field Goldenrod is particularly valued for its ecological benefits. It supports a range of bees, butterflies, and beetles, and serves as a host plant for the larvae of the Wavy-lined Emerald moth (Synchlora aerata). Additionally, its seeds provide food for songbirds, enhancing its role in supporting local wildlife.
