Echinacea purpurea 'Kim's Knee High' is a dwarf coneflower that stands out thanks to its drooping, transparent pink petals that highlight a noticeable coppery-orange to dark bronze core cone. It is shorter than most Echinacea purpurea variants. This lovely perennial is robust and vibrant and is known for its compact habit. It is an early bloomer and offers a colorful floral display in the garden from early to late summer, perhaps continuing to bloom sporadically until frost. Ideal for pots and small gardens.
