Echinacea purpurea 'Red Knee High' PP20411
Common Name: Purple Coneflower
This dwarf coneflower delivers awesome color impact in the landscape! Large, rich magenta red flowers are borne in profusion atop knee high plants for several months beginning in midsummer. They add a terrific punch of color to combination containers and are a sight to be seen when planted en masse in the landscape.
'Red Knee High' is a sport of 'Kim's Knee High' discovered at Sunny Border Nurseries.
Praised for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear from midsummer thru fall, after many other perennials have finished blooming, Coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.
