Achillea millefolium ‘Walter Funcke’

A bold, warm-toned yarrow producing flat clusters of rich burnt-orange to terracotta flowers that gradually mellow to softer coppery shades with age. Held above finely divided, aromatic foliage, it brings strong colour and a naturalistic, prairie-style feel to sunny borders.

Plant Details:
• Common name: Yarrow
• Position: Full sun
• Height & spread: Approx. 60–80cm x 40–60cm
• Flowering: June – September
• Soil: Well-drained, poor to moderately fertile soil; thrives in dry conditions
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in Ireland
• Pollinator friendly: ✔ Yes
• Something to note: A tough, drought-resistant perennial that performs best in lean soils where it stays compact and free-flowering. Cutting back after the first main flush encourages repeat blooms and helps maintain a neat habit. Excellent for pollinators and for adding strong, warm colour contrast in mixed planting schemes.
