Cutleaf Coneflower, Tall Coneflower

Cutleaf Coneflower, Tall Coneflower

Rudbeckia laciniata

This native coneflower bears yellow flowers in summer fall, a pollinator-rich perennial providing vivid colour through the summer months and ornamental seed heads through winter.

  • Yellow flowers with prominent central cones attract butterflies, bees, and goldfinches through the summer bloom period.
  • Dried seed heads provide winter interest and feed goldfinches through the cold months; leave stems standing until spring.
  • Upright habit, reaching 1.75 m at maturity; drought tolerant once established; avoid overly rich soils that favour lush growth over flowering.
  • Best in full sun to partial shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil.
