This goldenrod has a dense wand of flowers not, as with most other goldenrods, with flowers only on one side of stems (second). The stems are often reddish (D). The leaves are lance-shaped and opposite on stems (C,E).

One cluster of plants of this species was first discovered in the Camp Brewster restored prairie in late August 2014; it was probably a part of the original prairie plant mix.
