Achillea millefolium New Vintage Violet is a spreading perennial that blooms with an abundance of violet-magenta flower clusters with cream centers from late spring to late summer. Borne on upright, branching stems about fern-like foliage, the blossoms on this cultivar re-flower very well. It is attractive to bees and butterflies. Once established, it is easy to care for, drought—and heat-tolerant, and deer—and rabbit-resistant.
Great for borders and containers, it also makes excellent cut flowers for bouquets or dried flower arrangements. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. It performs best in full sun but can tolerate shade; blooms are brighter pink in full sun. It prefers dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils.
Host plant for: Painted Lady butterfly.
