Description
Achillea millefolium Cassis is a variety of yarrow that stands out for its long and abundant cherry red flowering that turns pink. It is a perennial plant appreciated for its dense and vigorous vegetation that covers the soil, as well as its resistance to heat and drought. As ornamental as it is easy to care for, it is perfect for quickly filling slopes, dressing borders, or creating beautiful country bouquets. Exuberant and undemanding, this garden regular brings a nostalgic charm to unpretentious flowerbeds.
The Achillea millefolium Cassis is a beautiful descendant of the yarrow, a perennial herbaceous plant from the Asteraceae family native to Europe and Asia Minor. It develops from spring onwards, a compact and upright tuft that spreads through stolons, allowing it to cover large areas. 'Cassis' will reach approximately 60 cm (24in) in height when in bloom, 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8in) for the foliage. It spreads over 50 cm (20in) and more. The remarkably long flowering period extends from June to September if the soil remains slightly moist during the hottest part of summer. It takes the form of flower heads called corymbs, flattened and rounded, approximately 7 cm (3in) in diameter. The flowers have yellow tubular florets in the centre and colourful ligulate florets on the edges. The flower head is initially bright red-pink and then fades to pink as it withers. The stem is channelled and villous, and the aromatic foliage is finely divided into feathery strips and has a dark grey-green, matte colour.
This hardy and undemanding perennial will integrate well in rock gardens, on top of a wall, along flowerbeds and pathways, or on a slope where it will help prevent erosion. With its stolons, it can be used as a ground cover over large areas. It can withstand the root competition from trees and can be planted at the base of a sunny hedge. Easy to grow and water-frugal, it can be paired with lovely ornamental grasses such as Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum and Stipa tenuifolia, ornamental garlic Allium sphaerocephalon or even 'Caradonna' sage in a small countryside scene bursting with colour.
Yarrow is a medicinal herb that has healing properties. It can also stop bleeding, reduce muscle spasms, and strengthen the body. You can enjoy its young shoots in salads or omelettes.

Planting and care
The Achillea millefolium 'Cassis' is a plant that can be grown in pots all year round. It is best to plant around 5 feet per square metre in soil that is well-worked and has proper drainage. This plant can grow in any type of soil, be it dry or moist, even limestone, and it can even adapt to clay soils, as long as they are healthy and well amended. Although it can tolerate partial shade, it prefers full sun for more colourful flowers. To encourage new growth in spring, remove faded flowers and prune all vegetation at the end of the season. Divide the shrub in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
