Description
The Achillea millefolium 'Pretty Woman', also known as Yarrow, is a compact, robust and branched variety. It offers an abundance of flat inflorescences, bright coral-red, composed of tiny flowers with a lighter center, throughout the summer. It is a drought and heat resistant perennial plant. Its light, very feathery, matte silver-green foliage remains fragrant even when dry. This deciduous or semi-evergreen perennial is a good ground cover and will form attractive borders until the end of summer. Easy to grow in all regions.
The 'Pretty Woman' Yarrow is an evergreen, stoloniferous perennial plant, with an upright tufted habit from spring. It belongs to the asteraceae family. It is one of the many cultivars of Achillea millefolium native to Europe and Asia Minor. The plant will reach a height of 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24in) when in bloom, 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) for the foliage. It spreads over 50 cm (20in) and more.
The inflorescence is a flattened corymb, 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter. The remarkably long flowering period extends from June to September. The flowers are bright coral-red from blooming until they fade and dry out. The stem is channelled and villous. The foliage is deciduous or semi-evergreen, highly aromatic even when dry and finely dissected into strips. The leaves are bipinnately lobed, feathery, and dark green with silvery reflections.
Exuberant and undemanding , this traditional garden plant brings a charm to unpretentious flower beds. The 'Pretty Woman' Yarrow performs particularly well in dry and hot areas of the garden. It integrates well into a rockery, on top of a wall, as a border or on a slope where it will help to stabilize and protect against erosion. This stoloniferous plant can be used as a ground cover over large areas. It allows you to avoid the necessary mowing for a lawn by replacing it in low-traffic areas. It can tolerate root competition from trees, making it a good ground cover in woodland edges as well. It is perfect for dressing the base of shrub roses or for bordering a sunny flower bed.

Planting and care
The Achillea millefolium 'Pretty Woman' can be planted all year round in buckets at a rate of approximately 5 feet per square meter in well-tilled and draining soil. It will grow in any type of soil, even limestone, dry or moist, as long as it is well-drained. It can even adapt to clay soils, if they are healthy and well-amended. It will grow in partial shade but prefers full sun. Remove faded flowers and cut back all vegetation at the end of the season to encourage the growth of young shoots in spring. Divide the clump in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
