Edgewood Nursery Plant Profiles: Cut-Leaf Coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata)

To purchase other interesting plants check out edgewood-nurse...
This giant coneflower takes a running form and can quickly grow into a decent size patch and fills in disturbed sites. The spring leaves are edible and are quite tasty, with a flavor different from any other vegetable.

Mine bloomed today here in zone 6b. 👏🏾

This is one plant that I've seen so many times but never thought to look up if it was edible or not! Can't wait to find some this spring and propagate some to eat at home.

Also well adapted to rain gardens, though it might outcompete its neighbors. This is the favorite host plant of Stresmside Checkerspot butterfly caterpillars.

Thank you for sharing your information about sochan and I hope you are safe and healthy out there. Would you suggest direct sowing or transplant seedlings for plantings near the edge of a forest

Hi. I app-identified this yesterday while walking at the edge of a wood. Is this the same as Black-eyed or Brown-Eyed Susan? Thanks
