Tell Me More...
Achillea millefolium produces masses of long-lasting, crisp white blooms which form flat clusters above ferny foliage from May to August. The blooms are full of nectar, a treat for passing pollinators. Found growing wild in the UK, with the common name Yarrow, the stems make a pretty addition to a vase in fresh arrangements or dried for alternative creations. Known as ‘Soldiers Wound Wart’, after Achilles reputedly used it to heal his soldier’s wounds after the siege of Troy. Historically, Achillea has been used for many complaints from nose bleeds to thrombosis. Achillea millefolium is both rabbit and slug resistant, not fussy on soil conditions and happy in sun or partial shade. Being a herbaceous, fully hardy perennial, with an RHS hardiness rating of H7, Achillea thrives outside for you to enjoy for years to come, with no winter protection required. Dying back in winter to resprout again in spring.
