Hairy rudbeckia is a North American prairie plant that is popular in Europe for its bright yellow flowers and long flowering period. It is distinguished by its dark flower center and rough leaves.
In manor gardens, rudbeckias were used in naturalistic flower beds and autumn compositions.
They were popular in rural homesteads for their unpretentiousness and ability to bloom for a long time until frost.
In cities, they are grown in public flower beds as a bright autumn accent.
Today, hairy rudbeckia remains one of the most popular fall flowers.
