Achillea millefolium Desert Eve™ Red


Desert Eve Yarrow

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.010.830


('Desred') Yarrow is an easy perennial, growing in nearly any sunny situation, even where there is poor soil. Plants form low mounds of fragrant ferny foliage, with clusters of flowers appearing on upright stems in early summer. This selection from the Desert Eve™ series has large, brick-red flower clusters. Good for cutting, fresh or dried. Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continued blooming. Inclined to spread, so site this carefully or plan to reduce the clumps each spring. Easily divided in fall or early spring. Plants may be trimmed back hard after the first flush of bloom, to maintain a compact habit. Heat tolerant. USPP#22333: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
