Achillea Millefolium ‘Summer Pastels’

Yarrow is tough and reliable, thriving on light sandy soils and coping well with coastal conditions. This particular variety combines an inspiring mix of pastel shades that creates a wonderful tapestry of summer colour. The aromatic foliage and wide, flat flower heads of Achillea millefolium ‘Summer Pastels’ are perfect for prairie planting schemes and cottage gardens, associating particularly well with swaying grasses. This resilient hardy perennial is well loved by pollinating insects and makes a lovely, informal cut flower too. Height and spread: 60cm (24″).

Culinary note: The leaves of the yarrow can be used cooked or raw. They have a bitter flavour but are good in mixed salads and best used when young. They may also be used as a preservative or flavouring for beer. The flowers and leaves can be made into an aromatic tea. click here.
