Rudbeckia laciniata

cutleaf coneflower

Cutleaf coneflower is always a striking sight, with dropping rays that set it apart from the other Susans. A great choice to fill out areas with average to moist, organically rich soil, it can spread aggressively, so site accordingly and don't hesitate to divide.
