Achillea 'Cerise Queen'
- Delivering a brilliant summer display, Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' produces large, flat-topped clusters of bright cerise-pink flowers. These distinctive, plate-like blooms hold their colour beautifully and create striking horizontal accents in the border.
- It is highly prized for its finely dissected, feathery green foliage that is wonderfully aromatic. This deep green, fern-like base provides wonderful textural contrast before the flowers emerge and is naturally resistant to browsing deer and rabbits.
- Blooming tirelessly from early summer to early autumn, it acts as a fantastic landing pad and nectar source for hoverflies, bees, and butterflies. Adding this vibrant yarrow to your garden guarantees a lively, buzzing haven for beneficial wildlife.
- Thriving best in a bright, sunny spot, it is a fully hardy, drought-tolerant perennial that is exceptionally easy to grow. It is an absolutely perfect choice for hot, dry borders, gravel gardens, or sweeping, prairie-style planting schemes.
- Boasting a sturdy, upright clump-forming habit, it serves as an excellent, long-lasting cut flower for both fresh and dried arrangements. Simply snip a few of the rigid stems to bring a wonderful touch of vibrant, cottage-garden charm right into your home.
