Common Name: 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. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a neat, low clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its short, sturdy, well-branched habit makes it ideal for front-of-border plantings, small spaces, and containers.
