Rudbeckia laciniata - Cut-leaf Coneflower

Cutleaf Coneflower is a tall native herbaceous perennial with an upright clumping habit and deeply lobed light green foliage.  The daisy-like flowers have drooping yellow petals with a greenish center disk bloom and through summer.  Deadheading can encourage a fall rebloom.  Flowers best in full sun and consistent moisture.  Heat and humidity tolerant.  Can be highly aggressive in ideal conditions.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance. Water regularly.  No serious pests or diseases.  Taller plants may need support.  Deadheading prolongs the blooming season.  Aggressively spreads by underground stems, which can be a problem in borders.  Divide clumps to control growth.
LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Naturalized Areas, Wildlife Garden, Native Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Russian Sage, Hibiscus, Daylily
