Is supect it's some sort of Rudbekia. I always thought it was hirta but someone told me it wasn't.

It's very tall....at least feet. It has the typical black eyes Susan flower but on wirey stems in widly spaced clusters.....and it re seeds like crazy!

I have left this one to grow to shade some hosta that are missing their shade from the branches that went in the ice storm....and it shades as well as a small tree!

But what is it?
