Sunny Seduction Yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Sunny Seduction')

Sunny Seduction Yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Sunny Seduction') is a compact perennial with feathery, dark gray-green foliage. Dense clusters of lemon-yellow flowers soften to pastel yellow as they age, bringing color to the garden throughout summer.

The blooms are excellent for dried-flower arrangements. Heat and drought tolerance make this yarrow a useful addition to sunny rock gardens, water-wise landscapes, and cutting gardens. Pair with rosemary or dwarf fountain grass for contrasting textures.

Care and garden use

This low-maintenance perennial can develop floppy stems in rich, moist soil. Taller stems may need staking in light shade. Cut back in spring before flowering to reduce height, or after flowering to encourage additional blooms.

Watch for occasional stem rot, rust, and powdery mildew. Use in grouped plantings, naturalized areas, wildlife gardens, or containers with good drainage.
