Achillea millefolium 'Pomegranate'

Achillea millefolium 'Pomegranate' | John's favourite Achillea 

Looking to add long-lasting colour and pollinator appeal to your garden? Achillea ‘Pomegranate’ delivers bold magenta blooms from late spring right through late summer and into autumn. This compact yarrow grows to around 70cm tall and wide, making it ideal for sunny borders, wildlife gardens, and container planting.

Part of the celebrated Tutti Frutti series, ‘Pomegranate’ stands out for its vibrant flower clusters that resist fading and its finely textured green foliage, which stays semi-evergreen in mild winters. Once established, it’s impressively drought-tolerant and hardy down to -15°C, perfect for low-maintenance gardeners or challenging spots.

Easy to grow in well-drained soil and full sun, it thrives in a variety of settings - from cottage borders to rock gardens and prairie-style planting schemes. Its flat flower heads are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies, helping support garden biodiversity.

Plant in groups for maximum impact or mix with lavender, echinacea, and sedum for a stunning, wildlife-friendly display. Deadhead regularly to extend the flowering period and divide every few years to keep clumps healthy and vigorous.

A versatile, tough, and beautiful perennial that gives back more than it asks for - Achillea ‘Pomegranate’ is a standout choice for any sunny garden.
