A vigorous and reliable species for the garden, producing large clumps of blue green, sword-like foliage and bearing tall spikes of pale red and yellow, trumpet shaped flowers in summer and often again in autumn. Dies down in winter to return ever more vigorously the following year.
Found throughout the summer rainfall regions of southern and tropical Africa and very easy in the garden with regular watering in all but the heaviest of soils and making a lovely companion for Daylilies, Montbretias and Lily of the nile.
Excellent for cutting as a Gladdy is expected to be.
A clump forming, evergreen perennial, with finely dissected, intense silver-white, fern-like foliage and flat heads of golden yellow flowers throughout the warmer months.
Best planted en masse.
Feed Well.
Cut spent stems to the ground.
The most drought hardy Achillea we've yet seen, easily surviving several months without water, once established.
A clump forming evergreen perennial with finely dissected fern-like foliage and flat heads of salmon pink flowers throughout the warmer months. Planted on mass it forms a wonderful tapestry effect as the flowers fade slowly through a range of colours.
Cut of flowering stems when spent.
Feed Well.
One of, if not the best Achillea we have ever grown. The flowers start of a deep salmon colour and slowly fade to cream, creating a very pleasing tapestry effect. Very floriferous and vigorous without being rampant.
Mass plant it for best effect, I would go so far as to say that you could probably not over plant it.
Slightly taller than most, with flat heads of soft lemon. Not overly vigorous and very lovely with little colour change as the flowers age. More useful with taller perennials than the identically coloured but shorter statured A. ‘Hella Glashoff’.
For any sunny soil.
A clump forming evergreen perennial with finely dissected fern-like foliage and flat heads of ivory coloured flowers throughout the warmer months.
A splendid perennial for a sunny bed. Quickly forms handsome clumps although best planted on mass.
Feed Well.
Remove spent flower stems to promote flowering, possibly with a whipper snipper or mower.
Not particularly vigorous, which could be considered a virtue, but the colour is rather intriguing, the colour of raw silk.
Flat heads of rich red flowers float above slowly spreading mounds of ferny green leaves.
Superior in colour to Achillea ‘Fanal’, a richer more solid red less quickly ageing to yellow.
At it's its best in light well drained soil.
Flat heads of rich salmon to terracotta over dense clumps of greyish green ferny leaves. A curious shade inspiring all sorts of wonderful colour combinations. Tough and vigorous without being weedy.
A robust perennial form of the common bedding annual Floss flower from Mexico and grown in Australia for many years, its origins lost in the mists of time. Forms a stiff shrub clothed in softly haired, triangular, mid green leaves, cupping in a dryer atmosphere. Tight clusters of light blue, pompom-like flowers are produced throughout the year on long stems, making it perfect for picking and very popular in the florist trade.
Dead head and prune regularly when in active growth, never to dead wood, to promote flowering.
Starts riots in the butterfly world, particular among Monarchs and Lesser Wanderers who find it irresistible.
Clay soil is unacceptable, otherwise easily grown in rich well irrigated soil. Will suffer in all but the mildest frosts.
An evergreen, clumping perennial. Throughout the warmer months tall stems bear, yellowy, apricotty, pink (hard to describe), funnel shaped flowers, with brown flecks on the yellow bases of the upper petals.
As they brown, spent stems can be removed by pulling.
Plant in well drained soil, feed well.
Superb cut flower.
