Red Velvet Yarrow - Achillea millefolium 'Red Velvet'

Red Velvet Yarrow is a showstopping cultivar prized for its luxuriously deep crimson flower heads and velvety appearance. Standing 20-28 inches tall, this robust perennial produces abundant blooms from early summer through autumn, maintaining rich color saturation throughout the season. The finely divided, dark green foliage creates striking contrast with the jewel-toned flowers and remains ornamental well into winter. Exceptionally hardy and drought-resistant once established, Red Velvet demands full sun and well-draining soil with minimal maintenance requirements. Its dramatic presence, extended flowering period, and strong pollinator magnetism make it essential for creating bold focal points in mixed borders, cutting gardens, and sustainable landscapes where depth of color and reliable performance are paramount.
