Rudbeckia
I have a couple of Rudbeckia plants; however, the flowers dry up and look bronzy as soon as they bloom. The flowers in gardening books look pink and pretty. What can I do to make them look healthier?

Rudbeckia tends to be yellow and brown. There is a flower that looks similar to Rudbeckia and is pink.This is Echinacea, also known as Purple Coneflower.

While you really cannot do anything about its height per say, you can trim the plants or deadhead to encourage more compact growth.

Rudbeckia
Is there a way to kill an invasive rudbeckia without having to dig it up? Thanks.

Unfortunately, unless you want to resort to herbicides, like Round-up, digging the plant up may be the best way to remove it. Getting it before it flowers and subsequently drops seed will help with 'pop-up' seedlings too.

Picture of Plant Leaves to Identify Several Perennials
I am digging perennials from an old bed where the plants are not marked. I need help distinguishing between rudbeckia and coneflower leaves. Also, need to see what the leaves of a peached leaf bell flower looks like.

Cutting Back Perennials in the Fall
I have planted perennials I never had before. I don’t know if I should cut them back in the fall like we do for hostas and others. They are: Jupiter’s Beard, Gaura lindheimeri, Golden Groundsel (rudbekia), bugleweed, aster, serbian bell flower, wormwood-Powis Castle, Chrysanthemum.
