The soft green leaves of Achillea Pomegranate will tolerate foot traffic. Traffic is not so good
for the flowers but brings up the scent of the fragrant
foliage. Any of the Achillea millefolium varieties are a great lawn substitute. The blooms
on Pomegranate are a brilliant red with a hint of plum fading to buff. Achillea Pomegranate
will bloom in Spring and much of the summer. These yarrows are hardy in a significant drought
but like a little water now and again and will look much better for it. I use the Achillea Pomegranate
in a perennial border or massed to give a long lasting jolt of red, that is just a bit into the purple
side of red.
Achillea Pomegranate is a nectar source for the Checkerspot
Butterfly species and is a great addition to the butterfly
garden.
