This popped up in my front yard garden, pretty sure I didn't plant it but it has taken over. I don't think it is Black Eyed Susan, it doesn't have fuzzy stems. It grows wild along the roads in my area too. Blooms a little later than BES.

It is a Rudbeckia, just not typical for your area. I think it might be R. fulgida which is usually available as the variety 'Goldsturm'.

I agree. Great plant but this particular variety is pretty aggressive. I'd keep some for the butterflies and pollinators but don't hesitate to be a bit aggressive pulling it either to keep it in check.

So pretty!
I'd totally encourage...
Not sure why you'd ask about pulling such a gorgeous wildflower...
There are an incredible number of rudbeckia varieties.
I don't recognize this specific one, but I used to have some late blooming ones with smaller blooms than the usual... I liked the look better than the R. Hirta.

I get quite a few "volunteer" rudbeckia in my garden. I let many of them grow, but I also am quick to pull the ones that are in the way of my intended plantings. Rudbeckia have a tendency to crowd out other plants like squash and daylilies. On the other hand, rudbeckia attract pollinators to the garden, which helps the crops, and they also attract birds that feast on the seeds, so I even leave the browning seed heads until the seeds are all picked out before I pull up the plant at the end of the season. Here is a photo from my garden in June. All of the big clumps of yellow flowers are volunteer rudbeckia.

I planted 3 Rudbeckia Goldsturm in my back yard along a fence, and they're very well-behaved for me in my Zone 5. They never send up runners out in the grass, but the main plants get bushier with more flowers each year. They're zero maintenance for me, never watered. I usually leave the dead flowers and foliage up through winter for insects and critters and then cut them to the ground in early spring. They're definitely a keeper perennial for me.
