Positive	straea	On May 25, 2008, straea from Somerville, MA (Zone 6b) wrote: This is without any doubt my absolute favorite yarrow. It is difficult to put into words how its umbrel blooms subtly change coloration over the course of their life, making it an absolutely luminous presence in the garden. Additionally, it attracts predatory flying insects more than any other yarrow I've ever grown, and I often watched them go on to lay eggs or catch pests in my garden after stopping in at Feuerland's blooms. It is also much less prone to winter-kill than many of the other multicolored hybrid yarrows I've grown in this climate (most especially pink/red colored ones). I cannot figure out why it is so difficult to find here in the US.
Neutral	dmj1218	On May 16, 2006, dmj1218 from west Houston, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Considered to be the best of the many Achillea hybrids from Germany. It's blooms open blood red with prominant golden centers. The red slowly fades to deep pink, salmon, and eventually soft gold. The combination produces a fiery effect.
