Thompson and Morgan Achillea Millefolium Summer Berries Garden Ready Plant 30 Pack

This delightful Achillea boasts a vibrant mix of pastel shades, creating a colourful spectacle throughout the summer months. A hardy perennial with sweet-scented foliage and flat flower heads, it’s perfect for cottage gardens and fresh-cut flower arrangements. Loved by bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, this low-maintenance plant grows to a height and spread of 60cm (24in).
Achillea also has culinary uses; its leaves, with their bitter flavour, can be eaten cooked or raw, making an excellent addition to mixed salads, especially when young. The leaves can also preserve or flavour beer, and both the flowers and leaves make aromatic tea.
Plant Achillea in well-drained soil and full sun, as it dislikes wet conditions, particularly in winter. Improve heavy soil by adding coarse grit or sharp sand before planting. Once established, Yarrow is reasonably drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance.
In summer, stake the tall flower stems with garden canes to prevent them from drooping. Leave faded flower heads intact at the end of summer for an attractive autumn seed head display. When the first frosts blacken the stems, cut them back to ground level. Overcrowded clumps of Yarrow should be lifted and divided in spring.
Note: Achillea can irritate the skin and eyes. Images are for guidance only and represent expected results upon maturity. Actual results may vary based on different growing conditions. Images may be included to illustrate supply, but they can change due to seasonal variations, such as deciduous plants losing leaves in colder months.
