Notes
'Flowerburst Red Shades' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Flowerburst Red Shades') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Butterflies and bees visit the red, rose, and lavender blooms in summer and again in early autumn. The ferny, aromatic foliage looks good between flowers.
Pairs well with Emerald Pink moss phlox, Red fescue, and Double Click Rose Bon Bon cosmos.
