Kim's Knee High Echinacea is a compact freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and dark green foliage. The large, lightly fragrant flowers with clear pink drooping petals and orange cones bloom throughout summer. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
