Yarrow - 'Walther Funcke'

(Achillea millefolium) 
A powerful herb ally to grow in your garden, for protection of boundaries both physical and energetic. 'Walther Funcke' is a lower growing Yarrow with shorter flower stems which start in a burnt orange/red colour then fade to apricot shades. A cool name for a striking bloom, bred by Earnst Pagels, a famous German plant breeder - long lasting flowers on perennial sprawling clumps of fern like foliage.
