Achillea Sibirica subsp. Camschatica ‘Love Parade’ (Siberian Yarrow)

Siberian Yarrow ‘Love Parade’ is a charming perennial prized for its soft pink, flat-topped flower clusters and attractive, finely textured green foliage. Unlike common yarrow, this variety produces delicate, daisy-like flowers with rounded petals and a distinctive, romantic appearance. Its compact growth habit and abundant blooms make it a lovely addition to cottage gardens, flower borders, pollinator gardens, and cutting gardens.

Blooming from early to midsummer, ‘Love Parade’ attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Its sturdy stems and long-lasting flowers are suitable for fresh arrangements, while the plant's spreading habit makes it an attractive choice for filling garden spaces over time.
