I had planted one a few years ago, but it didn't like the spot—probably a bit too rich, I think. This time, my yarrows are in a rock garden bed. One is already budding, and I hope the other will follow soon.

Description
Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' is a tasty and colourful variety of yarrow, appreciated in the garden for its light but vigorous habit and its clusters of bright cherry pink flowers punctuated with small white centres. They bloom throughout the summer, above the plant's feathery and aromatic foliage, which is a beautiful dark green with a touch of grey and particularly abundant. This garden staple brings a lot of vivacity to casual flower beds and homemade bouquets. An easy perennial to grow in all regions.
Yarrow is a perennial stoloniferous plant native to Europe and Asia Minor. It forms a rounded and light clump starting in spring. It belongs to the aster family. 'Cerise Queen' is a very robust variety that reaches 60 cm (24in) in height when in flower, 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8in) for the foliage. It spreads over 50 cm (20in) or more. The inflorescence is a slightly rounded and flattened corymb, 10 cm (4in) in diameter. The remarkably long flowering period spans from June to October. The flowers are actually heads, with the central disc florets tubular and white-cream, while the peripheral florets are ligulate and purplish-pink when in bloom, before turning a brighter pink shade. The overall impression is one of vivacity. The stem is channelled and villous, and the foliage, aromatic, is finely cut into strips, feathery, and of a dark green-grey, matte colour. 'Cerise Queen' yarrow spreads along the surface of the soil through stolons, allowing it to colonize large areas.
This hardy and undemanding perennial will fit well in a rock garden, on top of a wall, as a border, or on a slope where it will help prevent erosion. With its stolons, it can be used as a ground cover over large areas. This eliminates the need for mowing a lawn and replaces it in low-traffic areas. It can withstand competition from tree roots. As it is easy to grow and tolerates drought well, it is perfect for dressing the base of shrub roses or bordering a sunny flower bed. Its flowers, which can be picked before they fully open, are ideal for making bouquets.
As a medicinal perennial, yarrow has healing, hemostatic, antispasmodic, and tonic properties. Its young shoots can be used in omelettes or salads.

Planting and care
Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' can be planted all year round in buckets, about 5 feet per square metre in well-worked and draining soil. It will grow in any type of soil, even limestone, dry or moist, but must be well-draining. It can even adapt to clayey soils, if they are healthy and well amended. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. Remove faded flowers and cut back all vegetation at the end of the season to promote the growth of young shoots in spring. Divide the clump in spring, every 3 years.

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.
