This appears to be a Rudbeckia hirta – and it could be ‘Irish Eyes’ – but we would need a photo of the foliage and height of the plant to be sure. ‘Irish Eyes’ is a type that has green centers early on that become round and yellow as they age, as you see in your photograph. There are, however, many plants that produce yellow daisies that are very similar to each other, so without foliage pictures we can’t give you a completely positive id.
Rudbeckia hirta are short-lived perennials that do best in full sun and well-drained soils. THey are easy to grow from seed. Where they are happy they often self-seed or naturalize, so if you grow them learn to distinguish the fuzzy seedlings from the weeds and leave those in the garden.
