                                While some species of coneflower are non-toxic, *Rudbeckia laciniata*, commonly known as cutleaf coneflower, is considered slightly toxic to livestock. This native perennial has been used medicinally and culinarily by humans, but its potential to cause adverse effects in grazing animals requires caution, particularly for those with a farm or livestock nearby.
