Overview
Specifications
- Position: full sun
- Soil: well-drained, including dry
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: June to September
- Hardiness: fully hardyAchilleas are in vogue again, thanks in part to the many different colours and cultivars that have become available in recent years. Achillea was named by Linnaeus, the modern father of horticulture, in honour of the Greek hero Achilles. They are generally short-lived perennials, with flat, plate-like flowerheads held high on tall stems, and ferny foliage beneath. This one has masses of tiny, sometimes pink-flushed, orange-red flowers with yellow centres, that age to creamy yellow. It is more resistant to flopping over in wet weather than most other achilleas. It is long flowering, and drought-tolerant. Try it in a sunny spot towards the back of an herbaceous border, in a border of 'hot' colours or among grasses. It makes an excellent cut flower.
