This goldenrod has an unusual, dome-shaped flower cluster. The stems are stiffly upright and the leaves are comparatively broad. The bases of the leaves on the flower stalk clasp the stalk. This species develops into a clump. For that reason, it is suitable for any situation from formal gardens to natural areas. Like other goldenrods, a wide assortment of insect pollinators are attracted to the flowers. Birds eat the seeds. It is reported to have moderate deer resistance.
It is worth noting that goldenrods do not cause hay fever. The lightweight, air-borne pollen grains of plants like ragweed cause hay fever. Goldenrod pollen is comparatively heavy and sticky. It is moved from flower to flower by insects.
