Echinacea purpurea 'Kim's Knee High' PP12242 (30)ct Ellepots
Zones 3 to 8.
Full sun to part shade.
Plants reach 18 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide ;
Clumping habit. Growth rate: Moderate.
Dwarf version has large, daisy-like flowers with clear pink, recurved ray petals and large, bronzy-orange central cones appear atop knee-high plants with sturdy stems. Its small stature makes this a great choice for small gardens. It tends to grow slowly, so it will not overtake neighboring plants.
Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant.
Excellent as a border plant, in mass or containers, as cut flower or foliage, dried flower or seed heads; fragrant flowers attract butterflies. 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 interest in the winter. Deer resistant. |
