Description

Rudbeckia laciniata, commonly known as the cutleaf coneflower or green-headed coneflower, is a delightful addition to any garden for those looking to attract bees and butterflies. With its vibrant yellow petals surrounding a dark brown central cone, this native wildflower brings a burst of color to your outdoor space. What makes it even more appealing to pollinators is its nectar-rich blooms, acting like a magnet for bees and butterflies. The cutleaf coneflower can grow very tall, making it an excellent addition to the back of a bed, but if you want it to bloom shorter you can trim it back in late spring before flowering.  Plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and watch as your garden becomes a haven for buzzing bees and graceful butterflies.
