Description
Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' is a very beautiful variety of Yarrow. It is a resilient perennial plant known for its large cherry pink flowers and its dark green feathery foliage. It is appreciated in summer borders, flower beds, and bouquets. With generous and prolonged flowering, easy to grow in all regions, this rewarding variety requires little care.
Yarrow 'Cerise Queen' belongs to the Asteraceae family, a family rich in ornamental plants. The white-flowered species is native to Europe and Asia Minor. The perennial variety 'Cerise Queen' forms a rounded and vigorous clump reaching about 60 cm in height when flowering. It has a light habit, with channelled, hairy stems carrying flattened corymbs, measuring about 10 cm in diameter. The flowering period, exceptionally lasting from June to October, consists of flower heads with ligulate peripheral florets, initially purplish pink, turning bright pink at maturity. The finely divided foliage is dark green, almost greyish, with a matte and feathery appearance. This plant, spreading by stolons, can cover more than 50 cm, thus colonising large areas. It has semi-evergreen foliage. It is aromatic and releases a fragrance typical of many yarrow varieties when crushed.
Yarrow 'Cerise Queen' is a versatile plant suitable for various garden uses. It fits well in a rockery, on a slope, or as a border plant, helping to prevent erosion due to its stoloniferous growth. It also works well as a ground cover, effectively replacing grass in less frequented areas. This perennial complements blue shrubby sages, 'Richard Gray' Lavender, 'Kit Cat' Catnip, and hairy thyme, sharing similar soil and exposure requirements. Yarrow flowers, picked before full maturity, are perfect for creating rustic bouquets.

Planting and care
Sow Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' seeds from February to June or from September to October on the surface of good soil and cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator at a temperature of 15-24°C or enclose the seed tray in a polythene bag until germination, which usually takes 1 to 3 weeks. Keep in the light as this aids germination.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 8 cm pots and grow them in cooler conditions. Once the plants are well established and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise the plants to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting them outside. Plant the seedlings at a distance of 60 cm in full sun, in any well-drained soil. September sowings can overwinter under a cold frame and be moved outside the following spring.
Plant Achillea millefolium in any soil, even chalky, dry or moist, but well-drained. It even adapts to clay soils if they are healthy and enriched with compost. It will grow in partial shade but prefers full sun. In cooler climates, planting can be done all year round. In regions with hot, dry summers, it is best to plant in September-October so that the plant can establish well during autumn and winter to face the following summer. It is advisable to cut back all vegetation at the end of the season to promote the growth of new shoots 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).
