Rudbeckia laciniata (wild golden glow)

Looking for some height in your woodland garden? Try this! Native to shady riverbanks and woodland edges, it prefers partial shade but can tolerate more or less. Spreads easily by rhizome, which is a great feature if you plan to eat it! See this article by the Forager Chef for how to prepare the edible leaves: Sochan: A Traditional Cherokee Green (Coneflower Leaves)

Also called cutleaf coneflower, tall coneflower, and sochan (Cherokee).
