Rudbeckia Cutleaf Coneflower Seed
Rudbeckia laciniata
Item #1810
Perennial in USDA zones 3-9. This giant sentinel loves moist soils and is found growing along streams, riverbeds or wet fields. Like its cousin, the black-eyed Susan, the bright yellow flowers seem to bloom non-stop from summer to fall with very little care. In the average garden, plants grow up to 5 feet tall, but can top 10 feet when happy. This vigorous perennial spreads moderately at the root to form large clumps, so give it plenty of room to grow.
