Strawberry Seduction is a yarrow in a color the ferny-leaved clan rarely offers: velvety strawberry-red flower heads with small gold centers, held in flat clusters over aromatic green foliage from early summer into fall. Those flat-topped blooms land butterflies and bees, and they cut well, fresh or dried.

Give it full sun and lean, well-drained soil; rich ground makes it floppy. It takes drought and dry soil in stride, and deer and rabbits skip it. Deadhead to the next side bud and the color keeps coming.
