Did you know... that the prairie goldenrod can flourish during drought conditions where native plants and grasses have died out?

This distinctly implies that Solidago missouriensis, unlike those that have died of drought, is not native. The missing word is other: "other native
forbs and grasses" would have been more accurate, since grasses are plants.--
