Achillea millefolium 'Saucy Seduction'

Achillea ‘Saucy Seduction’

Deciduous, Herbaceous Perennial

"The Seduction™ Series of Yarrows were recently bred in the Netherlands. Plants are midsized and upright, with very uniform blooming over a long season. This selection has clusters of rich rose-pink flowers, each with a tiny white eye. Excellent for cutting. Nice in the border and for massed planting. Deadheading faded blooms should encourage more buds to form. Likely to prove hardy down to Zone 3 or colder." Heritage Perennials
