Achillea ptarmica Marshmallow

£3.20
£3.20
Tax included.

Beautiful, compact plant with small, white, double flowers on attractive dark green foliage. This is a lovely flower to grow in a cottage or pollinator-friendly garden.  It looks wonderful in borders or is used as a cut flower. The bees love it; it has a long flowering season; it's low-maintenance; and it's even drought-tolerant too!

This is a hardy perennial, so it can be cut back down to the ground in late winter, ready to start again in the spring.  Once established, it can be lifted and divided in late autumn or early spring to make new plants.

Tolerant of most soils but likes sunny, well-drained soil the best.
