Rudbeckia hirta 'Prairie Sun'-  Enormous single and
semi-double golden-yellow blooms on strong and
vigorous plants.  Sometimes 'Prairie Sun' will survive
our zone 6 winters, but best to treat as an annual.  
Occasional self-sowing is not uncommon. 'Prairie Sun'
blooms from mid-summer to frost.   The flowers have a
lovely light green-eyed center and this plant really
draws your eye to the garden.  Rudbeckia 'Prairie Sun'
is also a great addition to a cut flower garden.
