Pink-Red Achillea generally develops its foliage before producing flower clusters. Plants started early under suitable conditions may flower in their first growing season, although flowering time depends on the variety, planting date, and climate. Some plants may require additional growing time before producing abundant blooms.
Sow Pink-Red Yarrow seeds on the surface of moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and press them gently without deeply covering them. Light supports germination. Maintain a temperature of approximately 65–70°F (18–21°C) and keep the growing medium lightly moist. Seedlings generally emerge in about 10–15 days under suitable conditions.
Yes. Achillea millefolium is a herbaceous perennial that can return each year in suitable growing conditions. Its foliage may die back during winter and produce fresh growth when the growing season returns. Periodically dividing established plants can help maintain healthy growth and flowering.
