Rudbeckia hirta

A biennial widely naturalized in the Finger Lakes, most sightings are probably the result of seedings with "meadow mix". Cultivars with darker centered petals and double forms exist. Rudbeckia hirtra have much hairier/fuzzier leaves than the other naturalized Rudbeckias in the Finger Lakes region.
