Yarrow, Summerwine

Achillea millefolium ‘Summerwine’

‘Summerwine’ is a rhizomatous, upright-spreading yarrow that is noted for its burgundy red flowers and dark green foliage.
It is a Galaxy Hybrid cultivar (A. aegyptiaca var. taygetea x A. millefolium) introduced from Germany.
Galaxy Hybrids generally feature stronger stems and larger flower clusters than those of the A. millefolium parent. ‘Summerwine’ features deeply-dissected, fern-like, dark green leaves and tiny, long-lasting, burgundy red flowers with tiny pale white centers.
Flowers gradually fade to pink as they age.
Flowers appear in dense, flattened, compound corymbs (to 4-5” across) from early to late summer on stems typically rising to 15-24” tall.  Quart
