Yarrow - Red

Red Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy perennial known for its flat clusters of deep red flowers that sit above soft, feathery foliage. Highly attractive to pollinators, it brings bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects into the garden throughout the summer months. Red yarrow is extremely resilient once established and thrives in poor soils where many other plants struggle. Its long-lasting blooms also make excellent cut or dried flowers, and the plant has a long history of use in traditional herbal gardens.
