Proven Winners® Color Coded® Knock 'em Red Coneflower (Echinacea hybrid ‘Knock 'em Red’) (PW)

Proven Winners® Color Coded® Knock 'em Red Coneflower (Echinacea hybrid ‘Knock 'em Red’) (PW) is a bold hardy perennial prized for its intensely vibrant red blooms, compact upright habit, and exceptional pollinator appeal. Blooming from mid-summer into fall, this colourful coneflower brings long-lasting prairie colour and wildlife activity to perennial borders, pollinator gardens, and sunny landscape plantings.

The large daisy-like flowers feature rich scarlet-red petals surrounding prominent dark cone centres that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the growing season. Its sturdy branching stems provide excellent flower production while maintaining a tidy manageable shape ideal for modern perennial gardens and mixed landscape designs.

The deep green foliage forms a dense clump beneath the blooms and provides strong disease resistance and heat tolerance once established. The seed heads also provide late-season interest and can attract birds in autumn and winter landscapes if left standing.

In Alberta, Color Coded® Knock 'em Red Coneflower performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and moderate watering during establishment. Once mature, it thrives during hot Prairie summers and develops excellent drought tolerance and winter hardiness.
