Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Upright stems of feathery foliage are topped with flattened flower-heads in a distinctive brick-red colour. As summer progresses, the blooms fade to soft coral, creating a fabulous tapestry of shades when grown in large clumps. Achillea ‘Fanal’ makes a fine addition to the middle of sunny borders, associating beautifully with billowing grasses and other perennials. This tough, reliable Yarrow is undemanding and easy to grow, even in challenging coastal sites. Height: 80cm (31"). Spread: 50cm (20").

Plant out Achillea plants into any well-drained soil in full sun. Achillea plants dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting.

Once established, Yarrow is reasonably drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. In summer, stake the tall flower stems with garden canes to prevent them drooping and leave faded flower heads intact at the end of summer to enjoy an attractive autumn seed head display. When the first frosts blacken the stems, cut them down to ground level. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of yarrow in spring. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes.
