Achillea (Yarrow) is a wonderfully reliable perennial, producing flat-topped clusters of tiny flowers above attractive, finely divided foliage. Loved by bees and other pollinators, it brings a soft, natural feel to borders and works especially well in cottage gardens, wildlife planting and informal schemes.
Easy to grow and very tolerant once established, Achillea thrives in a sunny position and well-drained soil. The flowers are also excellent for cutting and drying, making this a useful as well as beautiful addition to the garden.
Flowers: June–September
Height: Approx. 60–90cm
Position: Full sun
Hardiness: Hardy perennial
Good for:Pollinators, cottage gardens, cut flowers and dried arrangements.
Sowing: Sow from spring to early autumn, lightly covering the seed with compost. Germination can be a little slow, so keep the compost moist and be patient. Once large enough to handle, pot seedlings on before planting out into their final position.
Grown, harvested and packed by Missenden Seeds in the Chiltern Hills. Open-pollinated and grown without chemical pesticides or peat.
