CHUXAY GARDEN 600 Seeds Red Achillea Millefolium - Showy Accent Plant for Landscaping

Achillea Desert Eve Red (Yarrow), one of the earliest flowering yarrows, is a compact herbaceous perennial that boasts a profusion of large, long-lasting clusters of brick-red flowers. This eye-catching beauty easily enlivens any sunny corner of the garden, with its blooms lasting for weeks from late spring to late summer. The pleasantly aromatic, semi-evergreen, deeply-divided foliage nicely compliments the cheerful flowers, making it an attractive addition to the garden.

Attractive to bees and butterflies, easy to care for, drought and heat tolerant, and deer and rabbit resistant, this brightly colored yarrow is perfect for sunny borders, outstanding in containers, and excellent for cutting. It performs best in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils, although it can tolerate light shade, though the best coloring and flowering are obtained in full sun. Once established, it is drought tolerant.

Hardiness Zone: 4-8

To grow Achillea Desert Eve Red, sow the seeds in moist, normal potting soil, ensuring that the seeds are just barely covered by the potting soil. Place the pot with the yarrow seeds in a sunny and warm location, and the seeds should germinate in 14 to 21 days, depending on the conditions. The best time to plant is in spring or early summer.

This yarrow grows up to 16-20 inches tall (40-50 cm) and 18-20 inches wide (45-50 cm), making it a vital ingredient for beds and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens, or patio containers. Achillea is also valued for the excellent quality of its cut flowers, whether in bouquets or dried floral arrangements.
