Achillea millefolium ‘Fire King’

Pot size 4″

The Yarrow is perennial that is easy to grow and maintain. The blooms of the Yarrow range from yellow, orange, and even pinky-red. The clusters of blooms grow low to ground and are surrounded by foliage that is a lush grayish-green color, and have a ferny shape. The Yarrow makes for great cuttings and dried flowers. Will bloom starting early Summer and grow at a medium rate. This particular variety of Yarrow has stunning clusters of red flat-top flower with tan eyes at the end of the stems.

The Yarrow is inclined to spread, and ensure that you are deadheading flowers that are matured to encourage more buds to form. Cut back down to the ground in Spring. Will get to heights of 60 cm and a spread of 60 cm. Does well with moist but well-drained soil.
