This Showy Goldenrod is one of the goldenrods called the "Club-like flowered", as the Seaside Goldenrod (S. sempervirens), the Large-leaved Goldenrod (S. macrophylla), and the Stout Goldenrod (S squarrosa). It bears about foot long golden clubs or stout wands in August-September. It has stout, smooth stems and smooth leaves with irregular edges. It is native from Minnesota into New England down into the South US. It is sold by some native plant nurseries and will fit into a standard garden.
