Narrative
NRCS description: Native erect perennial that often occurs in clumps. The fibrous roots may penetrate the soil five feet, so it competes well with the dominant grass species. The plant may grow to a height of over three feet; even four feet may be reached in the eastern portion of its range. The leaves and stem are usually hariy, giving the plant a distinctive pale green or grayish cast. Leaves are alternate, with the lower ones long petioled and oval. The upper leaves are smaller, sessile, and ovate to oblong, slightly clasping the stem with short petioles. All are sparsely toothed and are harsh and leathery. The lower leaves form a large basal rosette early in the season and sometimes in the previous fall, making the plant discernible throught the growing season. The terminal inflorescence is bright yellow, flat-topped to somewhat rounded, dense, and up to several inches across. The mass of tiny, golden flowers, individually about 1 third of an inch long, combine to make a large, handsome sparay. Reproduction is by lateral shoots and by seed.

Pedigree
Description:
Central Iowa Germplasm was developed by bulking samples followed by a regeneration cycle executed at the University of Northern Iowa Tallgrass Prairie Center where plots were separated via distance of circa 1,500 feet from other Solidago rigida. Germplasm was regenerated again at the USDA Elsberry Plant Materials Center in Elsberry, Missouri following the same isolation protocol of 1,500 feet. Original seed was collected from remnant prairies in the central one-third of counties in Iowa.
