Unit price perAchillea millefolium
Cerise Queen is a colourful ornamental Yarrow producing broad, flattened clusters of flowers in shades ranging from soft pink through to rich cerise and cherry-red. Growing to approximately 40 cm tall, the flowering stems rise above finely divided, fern-like foliage and provide colour over a long flowering season.
Hardy and wonderfully useful in the garden, Cerise Queen has a clumping, gradually spreading habit and is highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. The strong stems and long-lasting flowers also have an excellent vase life, making this a valuable addition to cutting gardens, cottage plantings and perennial borders.
Exceptionally tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established, Yarrow performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular picking or deadheading encourages further flowering, while established clumps can be divided periodically to control their spread.
Cerise Queen is an ornamental selection of Achillea millefolium. While the species has a long and important history as a medicinal herb, particularly for its traditional use in wound care, fevers, circulation and the digestive system, the white-flowered wild type is generally preferred for herbal preparations. Cerise Queen is primarily grown for its richly coloured flowers and ornamental value.

Planting / Sowing
