Notes

'Smileyz Kissing' cutleaf coneflower (Rudbeckia 'Smileyz Kissing') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Once settled, it also tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, Big bluestem, and Sundrops.
