Achillea Millefolium Cerise Queen

Achillea Millefolium Cerise Queen, also known as Yarrow Cerise Queen, is a flowering perennial grown for its striking blossoms and feathery foliage. With a prolonged flowering season and exceptional hardiness, this variety of Achillea is a great choice for a flower border.
All through summer and autumn, this compact, bushy perennial is brimming with bright, magenta blossoms. The colourful flowers are also particularly attractive to pollinators. Long-lasting and showy, the masses of flat, umbel-shaped, cerise blossoms emerge on tall stems, elevated from the loose clump of foliage. The fern-like leaves are mildly aromatic and edible, and form a low, bushy mound.
Undemanding and versatile, Achillea Cerise Queen can adapt to a variety of different conditions. However, it will perform best in moist but well-drained soil, and full sun. Tolerant of wildlife, heat, drought and frost, this perennial is virtually indestructible. 
With its delicate-looking, feathery foliage and dainty flowers, it’s easy to mistake this perennial for a fragile, fussy plant. However, Yarrow Cerise Queen is easy to grow and quite tough. With the ability to survive even the harshest European climates and temperatures well below -20 degrees, this perennial is fully hardy in all of Britain and Ireland.
A pink flowering variety of yarrow, Achillea Millefolium Cerise Queen is a compact cultivar. When fully mature, this perennial is around 60 centimetres high and across. Although fast growing, this specific cultivar is considered one of the least invasive varieties of Achillea. Easy to maintain in great shape, this colourful perennial needs no pruning. Simply cut back any shoots that protrude or that are damaged. To promote prolific blossoming and rejuvenate the plant, deadhead this perennial when the flowering season ends.
Compact and vigorous, Yarrow Cerise Queen is an ideal candidate for borders. Whether it is as an accentuating plant at the back of a mixed herbaceous border, or as a front row plant in a mixed shrub border, this perennial will bring you an explosion of colour.
