Achillea millefolium Appleblossom is a soft, airy perennial that brings gentle pastel pink flower heads through summer. The flat, clustered blooms sit above fern like foliage and work well in naturalistic borders, cottage gardens and wildlife friendly spaces. It is long flowering, reliably hardy and attracts bees and butterflies throughout the season. The plant forms a neat clump that spreads steadily over time, giving a light, meadow style feel to the garden.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
