Achillea ptarmica Marshmallow
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. Â 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. Â 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.
