RUDBECKIA LACINIATA `AUTUMN SUN`

This large perennial is not your typical black-eyed susan – 5′ tall mass of lobed green leaves create a sustantial presence in the garden or meadow. Large, lemon yellow flowers with a dark brown cone are held above the foliage on single stems. Blooming for more than 8 weeks, this native attracts butterflies all summer long. Tolerates hot humid summers but is not drought tolerant.
