Red Yarrow features finely dissected green foliage and flat-topped clusters of small ruby-red flowers with yellow centers. Red Yarrow attracts an array of beneficial insects such as ladybugs, butterflies, and bees. Red Yarrow is a perennial that is tolerant to hot, humid summers and often grown to prevent soil erosion. Aside from its attractive ruby-red flowers, Red Yarrow is the perfect fit for butterfly gardens. Grown as a perennial flowering plant, Red Yarrow will develop a deep root system and later return the following year after all danger of frost has passed.
