Hi! I planted this, along with several other plants, last year. I thought they had all died and I didn't save the tags when I was cleaning up the garden in the spring. But here they are. It's Rudbeckia, that much I know, but which one? could you please tell me what this is? Thanks.

Looks like Rudbeckia hirta.

Looks a bit more like Rudbeckia fulgida than R. hirta. Can you do a close up on a leaf? R. hirta should have fairly hairy/fuzzy leaves and the leaves are usually not that wide.

Thanks for weighing in on this plant. Here are a couple of photos of leaves, one with my hand to show the size. It looks smooth to me, but i don't know what I'm looking for! The stems are definitely hairy. Thanks!!

Agree with the R. fulgida ID. I have both fulgida and hirta, and this looks like just my R. fulgida.
