Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' is a reliable and rewarding hardy herbaceous perennial, producing abundant flat-topped clusters of rich cerise-pink flowers throughout the summer months. The vibrant blooms are held on strong, upright stems above a mound of finely divided, feathery green foliage, creating a striking display in borders, cottage gardens and wildflower meadows. This variety is a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, making it a wonderful addition to any wildlife-friendly planting scheme. The flowers are also excellent for cutting and drying.

Yarrow is one of the most versatile and easy-to-grow perennials available. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and thrives in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soils. It requires very little maintenance, needing only a trim back after flowering to encourage a second flush of blooms and to keep the plant tidy.
