Achillea Ground Cover

Achillea (Yarrow)

This group of easy to grow perennials is always popular with garden designers, their large flat heads of flowers contrast beautifully with Ornamental Grasses and other ‘spiky’ or architectural plants, they are a staple plant of the herbaceous border with their distinctive flower heads and long flowering season. We stock a full range of colours to suit your planting plan. When these plants are established (Which won’t take long!) they are very tough and drought tolerant. Achillea are very popular with pollinating insects and their flowers are great for cutting and drying.
