Also known as Prairie Goldenrod, Oldfield Goldenrod, Dwarf Goldenrod, Field Goldenrod.

Gray Goldenrod is an upright, unbranched perennial peppered with short grayish hairs. It is one of the shorter goldenrods, and less aggressive than its taller cousin, Tall Goldenrod. It tends to bloom a bit later than other goldenrods. It is a tough and adaptable plant that does well in sunny, dry or moist sites.

Native bees, wasps, butterflies, moths, beetles, and pollinating flies seek nectar and pollen from the flowers. Gray Goldenrod works well in a low wildflower meadow, pocket prairie, pollinator garden, naturalized areas, or as a cut flower.
