Rudbeckia laciniata, which flowered in its second season, is certainly not for everyone. Its size would quickly take over a small garden plot. I personally love not only the height but the unusual shape of the leaves. Birds are especially fond of Cutleaf Coneflower. Keep in mind it self seeds easily
