Yarrows are a key species in any water-wise sunny landscape, and this ‘Summerwine’ cultivar adds a burst of long-blooming deep-red flowers atop semi-evergreen, vigorous grey-green fernlike foliage. The tiny flowers form in large flat-topped clusters of wine-red flowers with white “eyes,” providing great habitat for beneficial insects to keep garden pests at bay, as well as attracting many types of pollinators.
This cultivar is a bit taller than some yarrows, growing about 2-3 ft. high and about 18-24 in. wide.
This cultivar begins blooming in spring and can keep going to fall with a bit of deadheading. Or, leave the flowertops to provide sturdy structure for winter interest and habitat.
The aromatic foliage tends to discourage deer and rabbits. All yarrows appreciate a sunny spot with great drainage, and never require watering once they’re established. Because they have a little winter presence, yarrows are great complements to more ephemeral plants, such as our native red columbine, Lithophragma, Potentilla, or waterwise Coreopsis varieties.
