Rudbeckia laciniata, commonly referred to as the Cutleaf Coneflower or Green-Headed Coneflower, is a tall, robust perennial native to much of eastern and central North America. Growing 4-6 feet in height, this impressive Rudbeckia species boasts large, deeply lobed leaves and towering stems adorned with 3-6 inch wide, yellow daisy-like flowers. The distinctive blooms feature prominent, green-hued central cones surrounded by bright yellow ray petals. Rudbeckia laciniata thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, making it a valuable addition to meadows, woodland edges, and mixed perennial borders. Beyond its striking visual presence, this species is also prized for attracting a diverse array of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and birds that feed on the seeds. The commanding stature, showy blooms, and ecological benefits of Rudbeckia laciniata have solidified its status as an iconic, garden-worthy perennial.

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
