Description
A. 'Feuerland' is a spreading, upright to mat-forming hybrid yarrow cultivar which is noted for its deeply-dissected, fern-like, aromatic, medium green foliage and its tiny, long-lasting, blood red flowers which appear in dense, flattened, compound corymbs (to 2-4" across) throughout the summer on stems typically rising 2-3' tall. Initial bright flower color slowly fades to a muted apricot-gold. Foliage has a strong, somewhat spicy aroma which persists when used in dried arrangements. Introduced by Ernst Pagels of Germany, a cross between A. millefolium x A. aegyptiaca var taygetea.
