'Red Velvet' boasts the richest red color ever grown in the Yarrow family, and unlike other reds, it's absolutely fade proof. Cut or deadhead the blooms promptly and this plant will rebloom vigorously for weeks, giving you an extra-long season of beauty for garden and vase! These rosy-red blooms, accented with a creamy eye, arise in giant 6-inch clusters all over compact plants in the sun-soaked garden. Happy in poor, dry soil, 'Red Velvet' can take the steamiest, hottest, driest summers Mother Nature cares to throw your way. Deer won't nibble it, but butterflies will arrive by the dozen to sip nectar from these brilliant blossoms! It reaches just 18 inches tall and about 15 inches wide, and combines nicely with all your sun-loving summer bloomers. Space plants about 15 to 18 inches apart and keep them deadheaded for even more blooms. Zones 4-8.
