description for "Yarrow: Achillea 'Colorado Sunset'"
'Colorado Sunset' Yarrow was bred in Germany for improved colors and performance. An aromatic perennial, 'Colorado Sunset' blooms the first year from seed in a bouquet of rich shades of paprika red, soft rose, apricot, yellow, and cream. The free-blooming 3- to 4-inch umbel blossoms are long-lasting garden and cut flowers and dry beautifully as everlastings. Traditional Native American healers used yarrow leaf for treating cuts and bruises. Cosmetically, yarrow plants make a skin-freshening astringent lotion.
