Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny position, spacing plants around 30–45cm apart to allow for airflow and spread. Avoid overly rich or damp soil, which can reduce flowering and cause root rot.

Care tips

  • Cut back faded flowers to encourage a second flush of blooms.
  • Divide clumps every few years in spring or autumn to maintain vigour.
  • Avoid overwatering, as Achillea prefers dry to moderately moist conditions.

Winter care

  • Leave faded flower heads for winter interest and to provide seeds for birds.
  • In colder regions, cut back the foliage in late autumn or early spring to encourage fresh growth.
  • Ensure soil remains well-drained to prevent root rot in wet conditions.
