i have grown to dislike rudbeckia triloba. It seems so nice a cute when growing in the wild. It sneakily entices you to take some seeds home. but then in a yard planting it rears its nasty nature. it grows huge, reseeds prolifically and is more aggressive than the darn canada golden rod. but the flowers do make great cuttings for arrangements.

prairie is alive and well and growing more and more popular. wild one's convention is this week in Minnesota.

joepye - I heartily second your dislike of R. triloba. We bought a blooming plant three years ago, which promptly died. We have allowed it to remain in the back forty, but are still pulling seedlings from the original area. But, oh, it is striking when it's kept in check.

Perhaps it will perform differently in the PNW?
