How do I plant a Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen'?

Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' thrives when planted in well-drained soil and can adapt to a variety of soil types. Select a location receiving full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. While this species can withstand average water needs, it is essential to ensure regular watering especially during the establishment phase and periods of dry weather. Planting should be spaced to accommodate the mature spread of up to 1 meter in height, allowing for an upright and robust growth habit. For gardeners looking to propagate, division is recommended during spring or autumn to promote vitality and maintain plant health.

Pruning a Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen'

Pruning of Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen' is straightforward and beneficial for promoting vigorous growth and abundant flowering. After the initial bloom in late summer, cut back the flower stems to encourage a second flush of blossoms. In autumn, reduce the stems to ground level, which helps in maintaining a tidy appearance and prepares the plant for its dormant phase. The species, being semi-evergreen, may retain some foliage during milder winters, but a thorough pruning will ensure robust spring growth.

Watering a Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen'

To support its upright growth habit and vibrant flowering from June to September, ensure consistent moisture, especially in periods of low rainfall. Water deeply to encourage a strong root system, but allow the soil to dry out somewhat between watering sessions. Overwatering should be avoided to maintain plant vigor and health. During the hotter months, additional watering may be necessary to keep the soil from completely drying out.

Fertilising a Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen'

For optimal growth and vibrant flowering of Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen', fertilization should be attentively managed. It is recommended to apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support the burgeoning growth period. As this species thrives in well-drained soil, ensure that the fertilizer is evenly distributed around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the foliage to prevent burn.

The upright growth habit and fragrant blossoms of this plant are best supported with nutrients that encourage strong stem development and bud formation. A second application of fertilizer may be beneficial in the early summer months to sustain the lengthy flowering season through to autumn. Regular fertilizing, in conjunction with proper watering and location, will help maintain the lush green foliage and striking pink blooms characteristic of 'Cerise Queen'.

The characteristics of a Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen'

When situated in groups, 'Cerise Queen' creates a stunning visual impact and can be a highlight in any garden setting.

Separating/dividing a Achillea millefolium 'Cerise Queen'
