Words that rhyme with Vegetation
For the rhyme search, what matters about vegetation is this: four-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, ending that ends on a humming nasal. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance well is bottomless. Sketch the lyric role and you get an idea-word. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why vegetation rhymes the way it does
In our engine, vegetation registers as a four-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 716 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 556, assonance 4,765, and consonance 208. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Vegetation is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
