Rudbeckia laciniata

 

Cutleaf Coneflower is a deciduous perennial in the Asteraceae family. Bright yellow daisy-like
flowers appear in summer through early fall. The leaves are deeply lobed or “cut” which the
common name refers to. As with most coneflowers, this plant prefers full sun to part shade. It
can get pretty tall, even upward toward ten feet! Cutleaf Coneflower makes a great cut flower or addition to pollinator gardens.
