Achillea Lilac Beauty

Achillea millefolium Lilac Beauty, also known as Yarrow, is a unique and stunning tall flowering perennial. Its feathery dark green leaves and clump-forming, spreading habit make it a standout in any garden. The large flat flower heads are adorned with masses of light pink flowers, creating a beautiful display.

The flower heads of Achilleas are flat, close, and solid arrays of tiny daisy flowers, without ray petals. They are borne on stiff stems and last a long time in flower, making them perfect for cutting and drying for winter. This hardy plant can easily reach a height of 75cm and a spread of 50cm. Its foliage is a feathery, light green colour, while the flowers are a dark red with yellow centers.

Achillea is a useful genus with many garden-worthy plants, with most coming from the species millefolium. These plants are generally clump-forming with a slow-spreading habit and feathery, narrow leaves in a grey-green colour. The flat, clustered heads of flowers appear in June and can range in colour from pink to red and purple, with a yellow center in each flower.

Achillea millefolium is native to Europe, West Asia, and the Himalayas, but can also be found naturalized in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. It is commonly found in meadows and dry grassy places. This plant pairs well with other garden plants, especially Alchemilla mollis, Salvia nemorosa, Echinacea purpurea, and soft grasses like Stipa tenuissima.
