Achillea (Achillea x 'Cherries Jubilee') - Interesting facts
Yarrows are native to Europe and temperate areas of Asia. Achillea was first recorded in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus, a Swiss botanist and physician, who was the father of the binomial nomenclature, which is the formal system of naming specific species. Yarrows are relatively easy to grow, requiring only routine maintenance and can thrive even in poor soil/watering conditions. They are great in the garden or as cut flowers or even dried for winter arrangements.
Achillea (Achillea x 'Cherries Jubilee') - Soil and irrigation
Once established, yarrows can withstand drought. However, ideally the medium should receive moderate irrigation and even moisture distribution throughout the soil. This is especially important while inducing germination.
