Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A clump forming evergreen perennial with finely dissected fern-like foliage and flat heads of salmon pink flowers throughout the warmer months. Planted on mass it forms a wonderful tapestry effect as the flowers fade slowly through a range of colours. Cut of flowering stems when spent. Feed Well. One of, if not the best Achillea we have ever grown. The flowers start of a deep salmon colour and slowly fade to cream, creating a very pleasing tapestry effect. Very floriferous and vigorous without being rampant. Mass plant it for best effect, I would go so far as to say that you could probably not over plant it.
