Achillea millefolium 'Walter Funcke' 24w34 5yo
Achillea millefolium 'Walter Funcke' 24w34 5yo Yarrow J1 (Yarrow) Yarrow Sneezewort, 20in.@ Maturity, Brick Red, Hardy to Zone 3-9, Garden J1 (SRC Bluestone) PLTD 2019.
Bluestone: A multitude of brick-red flowers age to rusty terracotta copper orange, then creamy yellow on each plant. Fragrant silver-gray foliage on this upright grower complements the showiness of Walter Funcke. This easy care selection will add interesting color contrast when paired with ornamental grasses. Road salt tolerant.
Missouri Botanical Garden: This plant is similar in appearance to A. 'Feuerland' FIRELAND, and is sometimes described as an improvement thereon because its shorter stems are lest apt to lodge and its brick-red flower color is retained longer as the flowers age. 'Walther Funcke' and 'Feuerland' were both introduced by Ernst Pagels of Germany.
