Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod is a tall, vigorous goldenrod of moist meadows and wetland edges across the eastern United States. Its wrinkled, heavily veined leaves distinguish it from other goldenrods. Like all native goldenrods, it is a powerhouse for pollinators and supports a huge diversity of insects. Goldfinches eat the seeds and often visit the plant in late fall.
