Re: rudbeckia goldstrum



I leave mine alone as well.  The birds spend a lot of time picking them over 
for food, as they do the purple coneflower. They will reseed, and most of 
the young plants will be inferior to the parents, but they can be moved (if 
you live in the country like I do) to some place where you are less fussy 
about appearances, and then the large flowered ones selected out and moved 
back to the highly visible locations. Or you can just weed them out like any 
other unwanted plant. They come up quite easily.
