Achillea Red Velvet

Many of the red achillea flowers fade to light pink as they get older – but not Red Velvet. As the name suggests, these smooth deep red flowers hold their colour for weeks on end. This is also slightly shorter than many achillea, so can be planted in patio pots as well as in the garden border

Planting Instructions

For best results grow in well drained soil, with a full sun or light shade aspect. Achillea are drought tolerant, but best to keep reasonably well watered (but certainly not waterlogged) in their first year to allow them to establish. Plant 18-24" (45-60cm) apart to allow for spread. A clump forming perennial, these should be divided every 4-5 years to ensure crown is kept fresh. Deadhead flowers through the season to encourage more blooms.

Will die back in the winter - remove any old growth prior to the following spring
