10 Seeds Achillea millefolium Rubra Red Yarrow Hardy Perennial

Achillea millefolium Rubra, commonly known as Red Yarrow, is a hardy herbaceous perennial prized for its flat-topped clusters of rich red to pinkish-red flowers that fade gracefully as they mature. Blooming through summer atop fern-like, aromatic green foliage, it brings long-lasting color and fine texture to borders, wildflower plantings, and meadow-style gardens.
This versatile perennial works well in mixed beds, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas, where its upright habit adds vertical interest and its flowers attract pollinating insects. The finely cut foliage remains attractive after bloom, and the flower heads can be dried for arrangements. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun for the most abundant flowering.
