Rough Coneflower - Rudbeckia grandiflora
 
Rudbeckia grandiflora, known as Rough Coneflower, is a native perennial admired for its large, yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom profusely from mid to late summer. This species thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, typically found in prairies, meadows, and open woodlands across eastern North America. Rough Coneflower reaches heights of 3 to 6 feet, forming clumps of coarse, hairy leaves that provide texture and interest. It attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies with its abundant nectar and serves as a valuable source of food for wildlife. Ideal for naturalistic gardens and native plant landscapes, Rough Coneflower enhances biodiversity while adding vibrant color and seasonal interest to the landscape.
