Kim's Knee High™ Coneflower

Sweet and petite, Kim's Knee High™ Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Kim's Knee High') is a 2-foot tall and wide perennial that brings all the butterflies and bees into your summer landscape - along with vibrant, bold magenta color! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 9, these cold and heat-hardy plants thrive in the sun.

Sporting the scratchy, coarse dark-green leaves of the typical Coneflower, these robust mounds of foliage are tough and tidy! All summer, the large ray flowers in vivid hot pink to purple form, each with a high domed prickly center for unique color and form in the landscape! Loving the sun, these repeat bloomers enliven any garden bed or border as nicely as they brighten a floral bouquet!

Kim's Knee High™ is a great perennial with loads of interest at half the size of its Echinacea cousins. The domed spiky centers are coppery-orange cones that become prickly seedheads that smaller songbirds love pecking the seeds out of in the autumn. These persist all fall and winter for unique interest. But throughout the summer, snip the spent blossoms away for repeat blossoms all growing season!

Planting and Application:

Vivid Coneflowers are perfect for pollinator and bird-friendly gardens in the sun! Hot and dry locations like the hell-strip or tricky areas along the sidewalk or driveway, or Rock gardens are great locations for these hardy plants. These are also ideal for updating tired cottage gardens, mixed borders with other bright and colorful perennials, or cutting gardens.

Tough and low-maintenance enough for commercial and mass plantings and are ideal in naturalized and prairie plantings as well as hot dry sites. Plant along hot sunny retaining walls and fencing, or brighten the steps into your home or along your home's foundation to bump up the color scheme of your landscape.
