Description

Bring a lively splash of colour to your garden with Achillea millefolium 'Summer Pastels,' a beautiful mix of soft pink, sunny yellow, warm orange, and deep cerise shades. Each cluster of flowers is made up of countless tiny blooms, creating large, plate-like heads that are a feast for pollinators. Bees eagerly gather nectar from these pastel blooms, while butterflies find the perfect resting spot to soak up the sunshine. ‘Summer Pastels’ is as easy to care for as it is charming. Thriving in a sunny position and tolerant of most soil types, this hardy perennial comes back each year, spreading gradually to form a lush clump with more blooms each season. Perfect for adding height and colour towards the mid-to-back sections of borders, it pairs wonderfully with other flowering perennials, dahlias, or ornamental grasses for a truly stunning garden display.

Achillea millefolium 'Summer Pastels', also known as 'yarrow' is well-suited to UK gardens, especially when planted as bare root in autumn or early spring. Once established, it’s remarkably resilient, coping well with typical British weather, from mild, wet winters to warm, sunny spells. These hardy yarrow plants are drought-tolerant, making them ideal for gardens that may experience dry summer periods. They flourish best in full sun, where their colourful blooms can truly shine. Planting as bare root allows the plant to settle in and establish strong roots, ensuring a vibrant display in the growing season that will return year after year, adding enduring beauty to your borders.

Plant bare yarrow roots in spring, once the risk of frost has passed. Yarrow benefits from a full summer season to develop a strong root system and produce enough foliage to thrive through the winter months.
