Solidago mollis is a North American species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common names velvety goldenrod,[3] soft goldenrod[4] or Ashly goldenrod.[4] It is native to the central United States and central Canada, primarily the Great Plains from the Canadian Prairie Provinces south as far as Texas and New Mexico.[5]
Solidago mollis is a perennial herb up to 70 cm (28 inches) tall with creeping rhizomes. Leaves are egg-shaped or lance shaped, up to 10 cm (4 inches) long, covered with soft, fine hairs. One plant can produce as many as 300 small yellow flower heads in a branching array at the top of the plant.[4]
