Rosy-Pink Flower Clusters That Bloom for Weeks

Saucy Seduction Yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Saucy Seduction') brings warm rose-pink, gold-centered flower clusters to the summer border atop aromatic, ferny green foliage. Sturdy and floriferous, it blooms for weeks and rebloomb with deadheading, drawing butterflies and bees while standing up to heat and drought. Deer-resistant and tough, it's a carefree, colorful pick for sunny Eden Prairie, Plymouth, and Eagan gardens.

Landscape Uses

Use Saucy Seduction in pollinator and sunny borders, prairie-style and gravel gardens, and mass plantings. It pairs beautifully with coneflowers, salvia, and ornamental grasses, and the flowers are excellent fresh or dried.

Best Time to Plant

Plant in spring or early fall in a sunny, well-drained spot.

How to Plant

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Set the crown level with the soil, backfill (avoid rich, heavy soil), water in, and mulch lightly. Good drainage keeps it sturdy.

Watering

First Year: Water deeply once a week to establish the roots.
After Year One: Little supplemental water needed; it's very drought tolerant. Avoid overwatering and rich soil, which cause floppy growth.
Drip Irrigation: Use sparingly; yarrow thrives on the dry side.
