Description:
Achilea is a real wildlife magnet. I love it and I think it adds really beautiful texture in a border. It can be grown as a single plant mixed in with others or as a drift to create a real impact.
Care:
They're pretty easy going but do need drainage. If you have a lot of clay that doesn't drain well they may struggle. I have found that they can be short lived if you live in wetter areas. Easy to divide!
