Tell Me More...
Achillea ‘Moonshine’ is one of the brightest Achillea, and also one of the brightest perennials. Your borders and containers will be awash with a zing of colour from June to September. Huge, bright yellow, plate-like flowerheads, each created by masses of tiny blooms, will cut horizontally through your borders. An often-welcome contrast to rounded or spiked flower shapes. Excellent as cut stems for the vase in fresh arrangements or dried for alternative creations. The RHS has recognised these qualities and awarded it an AGM for outstanding performance in the garden. A medicinal plant which is also known as ‘Soldiers Wound Wart’ after Achilles reputedly used it to heal his soldier’s wounds after the siege of Troy. Historically it has been used for many complaints from nose bleeds to thrombosis. Achillea ‘Moonshine’ bears nectar-rich blooms which are much loved by bees and butterflies. Not fussy on soil conditions as long as it is well-drained, Achillea are happiest in full sun. This fully hardy, evergreen perennial does not need winter protection and grows to a height and spread of 30-60cm.
