Gray Goldenrod-attracts birds, butterflies and native bees. Host plant for many moths, Goldenrod Scarlet Plant Bug. It tolerates light shade, but does not do well in full shade; however, it will often grow where many other plants cannot. It is a hardy plant sometimes found in old fields, pastures, waste places, and roadsides. The plant displays a mass of yellow flowers from late summer through the fall and individual plants bloom at various times, thus extending the flowering season. \
Host plant for the Wavy-lined Emerald and many species of native bees. Deer and Drought Resistant!
