Rudbeckia laciniata, commonly known as cutleaf coneflower or green-headed coneflower, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to eastern North America. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, which includes daisies and sunflowers.
This species is characterized by its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves, which give it an airy and delicate appearance. The leaves can grow quite large, up to 12 inches (30 cm) long and 6 inches (15 cm) wide. In mid to late summer, tall, branching stems rise above the foliage, bearing clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers with prominent green centers. Each flower can measure up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) across.
Cutleaf coneflower is a popular choice for cottage gardens, perennial borders, and naturalistic plantings due to its long-lasting and abundant blooms, as well as its attractive foliage. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is relatively low-maintenance once established and can attract pollinators like butterflies and bees to the garden.
