Description
Achillea ptarmica Diadem, commonly known as ‘Diadem Yarrow,’ is a resilient, compact perennial that's ideal for British gardens. Growing in a neat, rounded clump of about 30-35 cm, it’s cherished for its dense, finely textured foliage and its profusion of double, white, pompom-like blooms.
This unique yarrow has a charming quality that sets it apart, with flowers that appear as delicate, clustered spheres rather than the flat blooms typical of other Achillea varieties.
Introduced by Dutch breeder Janus Verschoor, 'Diadem' is perfect for beds, borders, and even containers, adding structure and a soft, clean contrast to brighter summer blooms. It’s especially suited to the UK climate, thriving through both sun and partial shade and showing excellent winter hardiness.
Regular pruning will reward gardeners with prolonged flowering throughout the season, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for those looking to add texture and understated elegance to their garden spaces.
