About this plant

Rich colour, effortless summer charm

  • Description

    Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction' is a compact perennial with flat-topped clusters of rich strawberry-red flowers held above finely divided, feathery grey-green foliage. It flowers over a long season from summer into early autumn and is a valuable source of nectar for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. It suits sunny borders and gravel gardens, and holds its colour well as the flowers age.

  • Why we like it

    “

    The strong, warm red really holds its own in a border and stays true for weeks rather than fading quickly, which isn't always the case with yarrow. It also copes well with poor, dry soils, so it earns its keep in the trickier corners of the garden as well as the easy ones.

Planting
Flowering

Plant in spring or autumn. Flowering begins in early summer and continues in successive flushes into early autumn, especially if deadheaded regularly.

Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in full sun in free-draining soil, as achillea dislikes heavy, waterlogged conditions, particularly over winter. It thrives in poorer soils and does not need enriching before planting. Space plants to allow good air circulation, which helps keep foliage healthy.

Care tips

Water occasionally during the first growing season while plants establish; once settled, they need little supplementary watering. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and encourage further flushes of colour. Divide congested clumps every two to three years in spring to maintain vigour, as achillea can become woody and less floriferous with age.

Winter care

Fully hardy and needs no winter protection. Cut back flowered stems to ground level in autumn once flowering has finished, or leave standing over winter for structure and to shelter overwintering insects, then clear away in early spring before new growth begins.
