Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction' has strawberry-red flowers with gold centers clustered together in large flat-topped flower heads 2 to 4 inches across. It blooms starting in early summer and continues into the fall. As the flowers age, they fade to buff yellow. This is a compact plant 18 to 24 inches high with gray- green, fernlike foliage. It is a member of the SEDUCTION Series from the Netherlands. It is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds and resistant to deer, rabbits, and drought. This is a favorite cut flower and is also excellent as a dried flower. The genus name Achillea is in reference to Achilles, hero of the Trojan Wars in Greek mythology, who used the plant medicinally to stop bleeding and heal the wounds of his soldiers
