Product Description

Rudbeckia laciniata: 7′ high x indefinitely spreading / full sun to part shade / zone 4

This beautiful native is one of the most highly regarded vegetables of the Cherokee; young shoots and leaves are boiled, steamed, or fried in bacon grease.  We fry them and have them with eggs.  They can also be eaten raw in salads.  They have a wide native range, and are often planted in native wildflower gardens.  They’ll spread quickly both underground and by seed to form a dense colony, and make an excellent (albeit tall) groundcover.
