Description
Achillea 'Sparkling Contrast' is an eye-catching yarrow variety that lives up to its name with its striking display of vibrant, deep red blooms contrasted by soft, silvery-grey foliage. This hardy perennial bursts into colour from late spring through summer, creating a dynamic presence in any garden. Its flat-topped flower clusters stand out beautifully against the fern-like leaves, adding texture and contrast to borders, cottage gardens, or mixed plantings.
Perfectly suited to UK gardens, 'Sparkling Contrast' thrives in sunny spots and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a resilient and low-maintenance choice. This variety is also a magnet for pollinators, drawing bees and butterflies to its nectar-rich flowers. Supplied as bare root plants, Achillea 'Sparkling Contrast' brings depth and drama to garden designs while supporting local wildlife.
Achillea 'Sparkling Contrast' is part of the Rainbow series, which is renowned for its vibrant colour range and robust garden performance. This series was developed to bring unique and bold colours to the garden, and 'Sparkling Contrast' adds a dramatic flair with its deep red blooms and striking foliage, making it a standout in the collection.
