Looking for the name of a coneflower/rudbeckia

14 years ago

I don't have a picture but I know I've seen them on trade lists.I received mine in a trade about 10 years ago.The foliage is green/blue color and the leaves are wide,the blooms grow up on a stem that can get 6ft tall or so,the flower is yellow just like a coneflower.When I received mine they were labeled prarie coneflower but thats not the correct name.Anyone know what I'm talking about?TIA..Debbie
