I saw this at Badminton house in july. This achillea really stood out. Does anyone know what variety it is?

    @WiltshireWild I don't know the answer but the flowers do fade as they age. A red becomes more pink.
    This can make ID more difficult. There is a pink rose in the background which might indicate it is a pink form.

    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    There are quite a lot of pink varieties. If you look through one of the sites/nurseries which sell mainly herbaceous plants, like Claire Austin or  Beth Chatto, you'll see lots of types. Cerise Queen is a pink variety which is quite widely sold though, if you're looking to buy one.
    They do change as the mature, but I'd say that's a pink one, and will just get paler, and some parts will be almost white. You can see a paler section top right on the plant  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
