Masses of bright yellow florets form dense, slightly flattish flowerheads, which act as landing pads for pollinating insects, over its slightly fuzzy and finely cut mid green leaves.
Clusters of rich red flowers with a strong cerise hint appear in late summer over its mid green, very divided foliage. 'Pomegranate' retains its colour well even as the flowers start to go over.
ACHILLEA ptarmica 'Boule de Neige' (The Pearl Group)
This variety of Achillea has a button-like flower shape with double white flowers in mid summer, which contrast well with the dark green finely cut foliage.
In contrast to other Achillea varieties this plant produces individual single white button flowers, which contrast crisply with the dark green foliage.
'Queen of Sheba' stands out for its unusual autumn flowers - smaller and finer than other Actaea cultivars they arch away from the dark stems that rise out of the lush almost black purple foliage
An old and popular cultivar for good reason - lush clumps of attractive pale green foliage from which stately white bottle brush flowers burst on willowy stems from late summer into autumn
Highly sought after for its very dark, almost black deeply divided foliage and the willowy bottle-brush spikes of fluffy white scented flowers that rise majestically above it in autumn
