Achillea Cerise Queen

A perennial of three seasons. Cerise Queen produces flat-topped plates of deep cerise-pink that hold their colour through summer, age to warm vintage tones in autumn, and dry to a soft, dusty rose that is one of the finest things in any dried arrangement.

Each flower head is made up of dozens of tiny florets arranged in a wide, flat plate — a perfect landing pad for bees, hoverflies, and butterflies throughout the long flowering season. Drought-tolerant, long-lived, and beautiful at every stage.

• Height: 60–80cm | Flowers: June–September

Grow it with Achillea Cloth of Gold and ornamental grasses for a prairie-style border that looks magnificent from July through to the first frosts.
