Rudbeckia laciniata
When to plant cutleaf coneflower
Cutleaf coneflower is a tall native perennial that bears yellow daisy flowers with drooping petals from late summer into fall (NC State: July to October), spreading aggressively by rhizomes to form colonies. Plant or divide in spring in moist soil in full sun to part shade; leave the dead, hollow stems standing into spring for stem-nesting native bees.
Cutleaf Coneflower is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
