Garden Goods Direct | Achillea Pomegranate

Achillea millefolium Pomegranate produces deep, crimson red flowers that brighten up any full sun garden all summer long. You can plant this beauty in the garden and not worry about deer munching on your newly planted yarrow. This is one of the most deer-resistant perennials sold today. Part of the Tutti Frutti Series from Blooms, Achillea Pomegranate is one of the top picks of Richard Hawke, Plant Evaluation Manager for the Chicago Botanical Garden. In a talk he recently gave at PPA’s P. L. A. N. T. program, he cited the variety’s “fantastic red color and bushy habit with stems that do stand up and don’t flop over. ”Hawke also admired the plant for its durability in the heat and humidity of July and August. These easy to grow plants are a front runner when it comes to beginner flower gardens. The Achilleas have excellent flowering uniformity and a blooming period from mid-June through July. Their foliage is reliably robust and disease-resistant, even in high temperatures. A mounding habit makes them ideal for containers and in the landscape. Additionally, the Pomegranate plants make beautiful cut flowers for their large flower heads and leafy green foliage bring magnificent texture and beauty.
