Song Siren Laura Yarrow

Achillea millefolium 'Laura'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Hardy perennial with ferny foliage and flat-topped flower clusters. Long-blooming ruby-red flowers with white centers open in early-summer and last until fall. Gray-green aromatic leaves are unappetizing to deer. Flowers may be used as decorations when dried. Tolerates many soil types and low amounts of water. Clumps will spread, but not uncontrollably.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
