50 Seeds Cut-Leaf Coneflower Rudbeckia laciniata Tall Perennial Yellow Flowers Pollinator Friendly

Cut-Leaf Coneflower is a tall, robust perennial known for its deeply lobed green foliage and bright yellow, daisy-like blooms that light up the late-season garden. It brings vertical interest and a naturalistic look to borders, meadows, and wildflower plantings.

Also called green-headed coneflower, this plant is valued for its tall stems and long-lasting golden flowers that blend well with other perennials in cottage and prairie-style gardens. It can be used as a back-of-border accent, in meadow or pollinator plantings, and for cut flower arrangements, with blooms appearing through summer into early fall. It spreads gradually by rhizomes and may self-seed in suitable conditions.
