Summer Berries Yarrow

Summer Berries is a seed-raised yarrow cultivar with flowers in shades of pink, red and orange. The Royal Horticultural Society describes it as a compact perennial with flat flower clusters on upright stems, blooming from mid-summer into mid-autumn; Takii lists it as an F2 hybrid in the Summer series ([RHS plant profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/275597/achillea-summer-berries-group/details), [Takii product page](https://takii.eu/products/achi-mille-summer-berries/)). Its seed-raised mixed-color character means plants vary in flower shade rather than matching a single vegetative clone. ## Landscape Use This yarrow suits sunny flower borders and containers. Takii lists 50–60 cm in height and recommends pots and borders; RHS suggests flower borders, patio containers, gravel gardens and cut flowers. RHS lists a mature spread of about 3–5 feet; allow space for established clumps and adjust spacing to local performance. Yarrow performs best in full sun and freely draining soil ([RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/275597/achillea-summer-berries-group/details), [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/achillea/how-to-grow-achillea)). ## Seasonal Interest The RHS profile places the flower display from mid-summer to mid-autumn. Takii describes the F2 selection as flowering in summer and autumn, with flowering beginning earlier from the second year. Timing varies by climate and establishment ([RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/275597/achillea-summer-berries-group/details), [Takii product page](https://takii.eu/products/achi-mille-summer-berries/)). ## Maintenance Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil and water while new plants establish. Cut back untidy foliage in spring. Deadheading can encourage continued flowers and reduce seed spread, while established clumps can be divided in spring if needed. The RHS identifies this as a seed-raised cultivar and notes propagation by seed or spring division; deadheading and spring cutback are general Achillea guidance ([RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/275597/achillea-summer-berries-group/details), [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/achillea/how-to-grow-achillea)).
