Yarrow ‘Cerise Queen’ Seeds (Achillea millefolium)
Seed Count: Approximately 500 seeds per pack.
Grow your own Yarrow ‘Cerise Queen’, a beautiful perennial herb producing clusters of rich cerise-pink flowers above delicate, fern-like foliage. Yarrow is a hardy and versatile addition to the herb garden, valued by herbalists and loved by bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.
Yarrow has a long history of traditional use in Western herbal medicine. It is valued by herbalists for its traditional medicinal properties and is also a wonderful plant for attracting beneficial insects to the garden. The flowers can also be dried for floral arrangements and herbal preparations.
While white-flowering yarrow is the classic form commonly associated with herbal medicine, pink-flowering forms such as ‘Cerise Queen’ are still Achillea millefolium and share the traditional medicinal heritage of the species. Research comparing pink and white yarrow has found differences in their phytochemical profiles, suggesting that flower colour can be associated with different chemical morphotypes. However, there is not enough evidence to say that ‘Cerise Queen’ has different medicinal uses or is medicinally stronger than white yarrow.
Season: Autumn, Winter and Spring
Soil: Well drained soil with moderate fertility
Watering: Water regularly while establishing, then water as needed
Position: Full Sun to Part Shade
Fertilising: Improve soil with compost before planting. Additional feeding is usually unnecessary.
Yarrow seeds are very fine and should be surface sown or only very lightly covered with soil, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs within 14 to 21 days. Transplant or thin seedlings once established.
Yarrow ‘Cerise Queen’ is a hardy perennial that becomes relatively drought tolerant once established. Cut back after flowering to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy plant. The flower heads can be harvested when fully open for drying and floral arrangements.
Calendula, Chamomile, Echinacea, Borage, Lavender, Fennel and other flowering herbs.
