Spectacularly large Rudbeckia with yellow daisy-like flowers, a bright green center, and drooping yellow rays. Foliage is green, oblong, and toothed. A long-blooming plant with tremendous height. As this giant spreads by rhizomes, it is best for the back of large borders or gardens. Perfect plant to use as a backdrop and to add a bold, dramatic element to the landscape. ‘Autumn Sun’ is sometimes listed as a variety of Rudbeckia nitida, but is possibly a cross between that species and R. laciniata. Native to eastern & southern U.S.
