Echinacea 'Kim's Knee High' PP12242

Kim's Knee High Coneflower,

Echinacea ‘Kim’s Knee High’ — commonly called Kim’s Knee High Coneflower — is a compact, long-blooming perennial valued for its bright rosy-pink flowers with prominent orange-brown cones that appear from early to late summer, often extending into early fall.

Its short, sturdy, well-branched habit makes it ideal for front-of-border plantings, small spaces, and containers.
