Achillea 'Red Beauty''

Yarrow Achillea Red Beauty

Achillea ‘Red Beauty’ is a bold, eye-catching perennial yarrow known for its deep red to crimson flower clusters that hold color well through the bloom season. The flat-topped blooms rise above finely textured, aromatic gray-green foliage, creating strong contrast and excellent garden presence.

Blooming from early to mid-summer, with rebloom encouraged by deadheading, ‘Red Beauty’ forms a tidy, upright clump and generally maintains good structure without excessive spreading. Flowers are long-lasting in the garden and useful for cut and dried arrangements.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is heat and drought tolerant once established and performs best in lean soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it is also deer resistant and pollinator friendly.

Mature size:



Height: 24–30 in



Width: 18–24 in



Ideal for perennial borders, mass plantings, pollinator gardens, and cutting gardens, Achillea ‘Red Beauty’ is valued for its strong red color, upright habit, and reliable summer bloom.
