Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod (Solidago rugosa)

Solidago rugosa thrives in full-partial sun and wetter soils. It can tolerate sandy, loamy, or even gravelly soils as long as they stay fairly moist. This goldenrod can be found in open woodlands, thickets, sandy swamps, wet sand prairies, marsh banks, and sand dunes.

This fall bloomer has bright yellow flowers that attract many bees, butterflies, and beetles. Leaf beetles, stink bugs, and the larvae of several moths, feed on the foliage. In addition to the many insect species the Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod attracts, many birds including Indigo Bunting, Eastern Goldfinch, Ruffed Grouse, and Greater Prairie Chicken enjoy consuming the seeds.
