Wild Golden Glow
Rudbeckia laciniata
Wild Golden Glow, also known as Cutleaf Coneflower, is a vigorous perennial that can reach impressive heights, often towering above surrounding plants. Its deeply lobed, bright green leaves provide a lush backdrop for the showy, yellow flowers that appear in mid to late summer. These flowers, with their distinctive drooping petals and raised green central cones, attract a host of pollinators, including butterflies and bees. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, this plant is a fantastic addition to cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and water garden peripheries.

Maintenance Tips
- Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and prevent self-seeding.
