Cactusjumper. These are all different groups of Rudbeckia. I gathered seeds a few years ago and spread them around the garden. I let them grow where I want them and remove any plants that germinate where I do not want them. For the last two years I have deadheaded my own plants and just tossed the seed. Each flower has at least 50 seeds. There leaves are fuzzy. If you plant seed now they will probably just sit there until next summer and then soar. Mine have been blooming close to 30 days and still growing strong. I will send you some seeds. They are invasive if you do not pay attention to your landscape. They also make great cut flowers.

I also help the nurseries and dead head for them when they have spent blooms that need to be removed. Sharon
