Solidago leavenworthii, or Leavenworth's goldenrod,[2] is North American species of herbaceous perennial plants of the family Asteraceae. It is native to southeastern United States from Florida north to Georgia and the Carolinas.[3][4][5][6][7]

One plant can produce as many as 350 small yellow flower heads in a tall, branching array at the top of the plant.[8]
