Plant of the week
Achillea millefolium 'Red Velvet'
The flattened, rosy-red flowerheads are held on upright stems above the aromatic fern-like foliage throughout Summer. This cultivar is said to have a good resistance to colour fade. Best in full sun in the middle rank of the border. Achilleas will attract many beneficial insects including bees, butterflies and hoverflies to the garden.
