We've tried many yarrows through the years and most have struggled through our hot, humid summers, with Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction' one of the few exceptions. This Achillea millefolium hybrid (possibly with Achillea clypeolata) was selected in 2001 by Holland's Michiel Zwaan, who bred it from the Achillea Summer Pastels seed series. Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction' is a long-flowering selection that begins flowering in June with strong 2' tall well-branched stems, topped with clusters of colorfast red flowers, highlighted with small yellow centers. We've experienced strawberry reductions before, but admit that we find the imagery of a strawberry seduction...berry interesting.
