Achillea 'Sparkling Contrast' is a stunning yarrow variety that stands out with its vibrant deep red flowers and soft, silvery-grey leaves. This hardy perennial blooms from late spring through summer, adding bold color and texture to any garden. The flat-topped flower clusters pair beautifully with the fern-like foliage, making it a great choice for borders, cottage gardens, or mixed plantings.
'Sparkling Contrast' thrives in sunny locations and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a tough and easy-to-care-for option. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to your garden while supporting pollinators.
