Desert Eve Deep Red Yarrow is a compact upright, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with aromatic medium green foliage.  Small, scarlet flowers that deepen with age and dark yellow centers bloom in huge clusters on sturdy stems above the foliage throughout summer into fall if deadheaded.  An excellent cut flower that retains color when dried.  Heat and drought tolerant.  Prefers full sun and well-drained soils. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Stems tend to flop if grown in rich, moist soils.  Taller stems may need staking if grown in light shade.  Can cut back in spring before bloom to reduce height, or after to encourage additional bloom.  Stem rot, rust, and powdery mildew can be an occasional issue.
