Habitat: It is found in moist sites as sandy swamps, wet sandy prairies, sandy banks of marshes, acid gravelly seeps, sand dunes, and rocky bluffs.
Note: A great addition for late season color and to lure the butterflies in. Has been blamed for hay fever, but its irritating symptoms are actually caused by ragweed (Ambrosia species), whose pollen is airborne when the goldenrod is in flower.
Wildlife value: This plant supports Wavy-lined Emerald larvae. Flowers are attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Songbirds eat the seeds. Members of the genus Solidago support specialized bees. Plant NOVA Natives lists this species as particularly popular with the non-native honeybees and recommends Solidago rugosa ‘Fireworks’ as a container plant
