Large, rich magenta red flowers atop knee high plants starting in midsummer. A dwarf coneflower, 'Red Knee High' is a sport of 'Kim's Knee High'. A perfect size and color combination for containers and an awesome view when planted en masse in the landscape.
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. |
