Orange Coneflower - Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida
 
 
 Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida, commonly known as Orange Coneflower, is a perennial native to eastern North America, prized for its bright orange-yellow flowers with prominent dark brown centers. This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, typically found in gardens, meadows, and open woodlands. Orange Coneflower blooms from mid-summer to early fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. Growing up to 2 to 3 feet tall, it features lance-shaped leaves and forms clumps that provide texture and color to garden borders and naturalized areas. Ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, Orange Coneflower enhances garden biodiversity while adding vibrant late-season interest.
