The Cutleaf Coneflower, known scientifically as Rudbeckia laciniata, is a tall, perennial plant native to North America, often found thriving in moist woodlands, meadows, and along stream banks. This robust plant can reach heights of three to ten feet, featuring deeply lobed, bright green leaves and eye-catching yellow flowers that bloom from mid-summer to fall. The flowers, with their drooping petals and greenish-yellow centers, are a magnet for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and wasps.
In addition to its ornamental appeal, the Cutleaf Coneflower serves as a host plant for the larvae of the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly and the Wavy-lined Emerald moth. Its seeds are also a valuable food source for songbirds, especially goldfinches. The plant is moderately resistant to deer and can spread vigorously, making it an excellent choice for naturalized areas and wildlife gardens. Its ability to attract a variety of pollinators and provide food for birds underscores its ecological importance.
