For us, Leonotis leonurus is a more demure dieback perennial (4' tall x 4' wide) composed of upright stems and narrow, fuzzy, green leaves. In late October, the clumps burst into bloom with axillary flowers that resemble fuzzy orange golf balls. Leonotis must be kept very dry in winter when growing in climates with cold, wet winters.

This Achillea millefolium hybrid (possibly with Achillea clypeolata) was selected in 2001 by Holland's Michiel Zwaan, who bred it from the Achillea Summer Pastels seed series. Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction' is a long-flowering selection that begins flowering in June with strong 2' tall well-branched stems, topped with clusters of colorfast red flowers, highlighted with small yellow centers. We've experienced strawberry reductions before, but admit that we find the imagery of a strawberry seduction...berry interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21029005701,"sku":"9200","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Achillea-Strawberry-Seduction-PP-18401.i-9200.s-67158.r-1.jpg?v=1779367495"},{"product_id":"chrysanthemum-matchsticks","title":"Chrysanthemum Matchsticks","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe have been thrilled by the performance of this fascinating hardy garden mum which makes a very compact 2' tall x 3' wide clump for us.
