Tall goldenrods are members of the Asteraceae, the Sunflower family. These and other goldenrods have two different types of flowers: ray flowers and disk flowers. These can have male and female parts, or either one or the other. Both the ray and disk flowers are yellow.

The tall goldenrod is an open-land species generally found on drier soils. It is a species of prairies and other grasslands, old fields, roadsides, savannas, and woodlands that also occur in forest openings across the United States.

Attracts butterflies, bees, and beetles.
