Perennial Cerise Queen Yarrow – ACHILLEA m. ‘Cerise Queen’. 1-2’ tall, 1-2’ spread, full sun, summer bloom. Plants form low mounds of fragrant ferny foliage, with clusters of cherry-pink flowers appearing on upright stems in early summer. Good for cutting, fresh or dried. Heat tolerant. Zones 3-9. Potted in 3” pot.
Yarrow is one of the easiest perennials to grow and is a good choice for beginners. All it needs is full sun and well-drained soil. It thrives in average to poor soil and is drought tolerant once established. Plants grown in rich soil tend to be tall and floppy. After the flowers have faded, cut the plant back by half. This will likely stimulate a second flush of blooms in late summer.
