It is the one to reach for when a border has gone too cool and pale and needs some warmth in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike most of the common yarrows it does not hold its opening colour. The red ages under summer sun through terracotta to a dusty antique pink, so by August a clump carries the whole range at once. It suits naturalistic planting where soft transitions matter more than a uniform block, and for drying it is worth cutting a mix of ages. The younger, darker stems keep their colour best once dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wants lean, well-drained ground in full sun and will sulk in heavy wet soil, which is the usual reason people fail with it. In a gravel garden or a dry awkward corner it is close to indestructible. Year one is establishment, year two is the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarrow foliage can irritate sensitive skin, more so in strong sunlight, so wear gloves when cutting back a large clump.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195302764877,"sku":"ACH-RUR","price":2.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Achillea_Rubra_Red_1.jpg?v=1787241369","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-achillea-rubra-red","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
