I like them, although we could have about half as many and still have enough. They are fairly aggressive and even Cathy has taken to pulling a few up each year. There are about 25 recognized species of <em>Rudbeckia<\/em>. Most of ours are probably <em>Rudbeckia hirta<\/em>, native to our region and the state flower of Maryland. Some of the others, with similar flowers, are less aggressive and might be a better alternative, if you don&#8217;t want a yard full of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The summer blooming period has really gotten underway at our house.
