Goldentops (Euthamia)

Goldentops

Goldentops are perennials with a variable appearance depending on the species and the specific environment. However, all share a couple of common traits, namely, the grass-like leaf structure and the solid yellow flower clusters to which they owe their name "goldentops." Many members present primary food plants for some native moth and butterfly species. Also, goldentops species are often mixed with or placed under the Goldenrods genus, Solidago.
