Make a striking statement in your garden with 'Knock 'em Red', a powerhouse perennial known for its vivid color and exceptional performance. Massive 4" wide blooms open a rich, deep crimson before transforming into an eye-catching fluorescent red — adding dramatic flair just when your garden needs it most. With excellent basal branching and strong flower production, 'Knock 'em Red' delivers a full, vibrant display. Its large blooms feature horizontally held petals for a clean, open look that stands out in borders, beds, or pollinator gardens.

Not only does it dazzle in late summer, but this variety also supports local wildlife. The blooms attract pollinators in abundance, and as the seasons shift, the dried seed heads become a valuable food source for birds through late fall and winter. Tough, beautiful, and bursting with life, 'Knock 'em Red' is more than just a pretty face — it’s a garden essential for color, ecology, and seasonal impact.
