Thompson and Morgan Achillea Summer Berries Plant Pot 9cm 3 Pack 

Inspire your garden design with the cheerful Thompson and Morgan Achillea Summer Berries Plant Pot 9cm 3 Pack. Achillea plants burst into mixed berry shades, weaving a vibrant tapestry of colour that lasts all summer and welcomes bees and butterflies to pollinator-friendly borders. Sweet-scented foliage and broad flower heads make them ideal for cottage gardens or for fresh-cut flowers, while their hardy perennial nature means they'll thrive in sunny spots with minimal fuss. Enjoy their culinary versatility in salads, teas, or even as a beer flavouring, and rely on their drought tolerance and easy care for reliable perennial planting. Culinary note: The leaves of the yarrow can be used cooked or raw. They have a bitter flavour but are good in mixed salads and best used when young. They may also be used as a preservative or flavouring for beer. The flowers and leaves can be made into an aromatic tea. Plant out Achillea plants into any well-drained soil in full sun. Achillea plants dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting. Once established, Yarrow is reasonably drought-tolerant and requires little maintenance. In summer, stake the tall flower stems with garden canes to prevent them from drooping and leave faded flower heads intact at the end of summer to enjoy an attractive autumn seed head display. When the first frosts blacken the stems, cut them down to ground level. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of yarrow in spring. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes.
