Care & Usage Instructions:
Achillea 'Cerise Queen' performs best in full sun and requires well-drained soil; it actually prefers poor to moderately fertile ground, as overly rich soil can make the stems grow a bit floppy. To encourage a second flush of flowers in late summer, cut back the faded flower heads to the side buds or right down to the basal foliage. In early spring, tidy up the plant by removing any dead stems. Every 2-3 years, divide the clumps in spring or autumn to maintain the plant's vigour and ensure a prolific floral display.
