Solidago macvaughii is a perennial herb up to 100 cm (40 inches) tall, spreading by means of stolons running along the surface of the ground. The leaves near the bottom of the stem can be up to 7 cm (2.8 inches) long; leaves get progressively smaller higher up on the stem. One plant can produce many small yellow flower heads in a large, branching array at the top of the plant.
