Description
Achillea Anthea ('Anblo') PBR
Height x Spread: 60cm x 45cm
Soft yellow flower heads on this Yarrow contrast beautifully with its soft grey-green foliage. Much beloved by bees and hoverflies.
This versatile plant will certainly enhance your cottage garden border, plus it looks amazing combined with dark grasses in a prairie planting scheme. We love it mixed with purples or violets. To encourage a second flowering cut off all spent flowers to ground level. It performs best in a sunny site, preferably in an alkaline soil.
