Achillea 'Gloria Jean' has hot-pink flowers tightly clustered together in large, flat-topped flowerheads. It blooms from early to late summer on stems that stand 18 to 24 inches tall with gray-green foliage. It is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds while resistant to deer and rabbits. It likes full sun and tolerates drought well. This is a favorite as a cut flower and is also excellent as a dried flower. The genus name Achillea is in reference to Achilles, hero of the Trojan Wars in Greek mythology, who used the plant medicinally to stop bleeding and heal the wounds of his soldiers.
