Summer Fruits Carmine is a fantastic variety of yarrow with deep velvet red flowers with yellow centres. They are arranged in almost flat corymbs. This variety is proud of its lasting colour which does not change from the moment the buds burst until the time they begin to fade away. It forms a neat and bushy tuft about 40 cm tall only which makes it a perfect plant for combination with other medium sized perennials, or planted between non-flowering shrubs.

Fern-like leaves are fine and deep green, basal leaves are larger than stem leaves. Once the main flowering has finished you can cut off the stems to encourage new growths but it is not necessary.

Yarrow is a maintenance-free perennial suitable for standard flower beds as well as dry locations and rockeries. It tolerates wide range of soils except for boggy and wet. Full sun is best. Fully hardy to -40°C (USDA zone 3).
