This is Rudbeckia nitida 'Herbstonne'. This is an ornamental commercial Rudbeckia cultivar thought to be derived either from Rudbeckia nitida or Rudbeckia lacinata or both. The true native Rudbeckia nitida is native to parts of the Southeastern US and is an endangered species. This cultivar should not be used for habitat restoration as it could outcompete and displace the original native genotype.
