| Hi everyone, being fairly new to the Midwest (this my 2nd summer only), please forgive me if this plant is well-known to everyone else. I got it at a home-based perennial farm and they said it was really an annual but would certainly reseed. It was about 3+ feet tall...like black-eyed susan but "daintier." Had the brown middle, but the yellow petals were shorter and rounder (cuter!?)and didn't overlap at all. Anyway, I collected seeds but it's driving me nuts that I don't know what it is. I thought maybe rudbeckia hirta but can't find a single pic that looks like my plant.
Do any fellow midwesterners know? |

| The flower sounds similar to a Helenium, but they are hardy. I have had so many annual Rudbeckia and Gloriosa Daisy, but can't think of one with short petals that height. Toto was like that, but it's short. |

| It could be one of the Coreopsis cultivars. There are many that are annual as well as perennial. |

| See if any of these photos match up with your plant: |
Here is a link that might be useful: gloriosa daisy

| Sounds like Rudbeckia triloba. |
