Echinacea 'Kim's Red Knee High' is a mutation of Echinacea 'Kim's Knee High', discovered at Connecticut's Sunny Border Nursery in 2005. Echinacea 'Kim's Red Knee High' has the same vigorous growth, short habit and attractively reflexed petals of its parent. The name red, however, is problematic...another example of male color-blindness and why you never ask men to describe a color. The color is actually a richer, darker pink than the parent, but nothing close to red.
