Experience the allure of 'Strawberry Seduction,' featuring stunning clusters of strawberry-red flowers with golden centers that create a captivating domed canopy above a compact clump of gray-green foliage.

A patented (US PP 18,401) selection from the Achillea millefolium 'Summer Pastels' seed strain, part of the "Seduction" series bred by Michiel Zwaan in the Netherlands. Strawberry-red flowers with golden centers open over aromatic, ferny gray-green foliage in an upright, clump-forming habit. Bloom typically runs several weeks through summer, and most growers report the red color fading to buff-yellow as flowers age, though the patent itself describes the color as holding true — accounts differ. Drought-tolerant and reliably attractive to bees and butterflies once established, it needs full sun and well-drained soil; overly rich soil or shade can cause the stems to flop. As a patented cultivar, it's propagated only by division or cuttings, not from seed.

Pros

  • Long-blooming strawberry-red flowers with golden centers, excellent for cutting
  • Drought-tolerant once established; attracts bees and butterflies
  • Aromatic, ferny foliage; deer and rabbit resistant
  • Compact, upright clump-forming habit suits borders and mass plantings

Cons

  • Flower color fades to buff-yellow with age — a plus or minus depending on taste
  • Prone to powdery mildew in humid or poorly-ventilated spots
  • Stems can flop in rich soil or shade; needs full sun and good drainage
  • Patented — propagation restricted to licensed growers
Highlights A patented 'Seduction' series yarrow prized for strawberry-red, gold-centered flowers over aromatic, drought-tolerant foliage — deer- and rabbit-resistant, and a magnet for bees and butterflies.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
