Deciduous, Herbaceous Perennial

Achillea millefolium 'Fireland' is a low-maintenance perennial yarrow variety. Drought tolerant once established, this semi-evergreen features orange-red flowers with prominent golden centers all summer. The flowers fade to salmon pink, then tawny gold, creating a fiery effect. The long-lasting flowers complement the fern-like and fragrant leaves. Cut back after for a re-bloom. 'Fireland' typically reaches a height of 30" and width of 24 inches. Thriving in diverse soil conditions, including acidic, chalky, alkaline, well-drained, light, and sandy, it blooms from over a long period.
