Achillea ‘The Beacon’

I’ve grown this yarrow off and on for more than twenty years. It’s a German selection introduced to the English speaking world by Adrian Bloom whose gardens at Bressingham near Diss in Norfolk should be on every gardener’s must see before I die list. No other achillea has such glistening bright cherry red flower heads. Like all of its race it is a tough sun loving drought tolerant plant. It is well behaved not running at the feet at all. 60cm x 60cm.
