Description
Achillea ptarmica 'The Pearl' (The Pearl Group)
Height x Spread: 60cm x 60cm
In contrast to other Achillea varieties this plant produces individual single white button flowers, which contrast crisply with the dark green foliage.
Tolerant of semi-shade, it is ideal for brightening up shadier parts of the garden with its haze of dainty white spots, or inclusion in a white or moonlight planting scheme. They can make quite large clumps even on poorer soils so regular splitting every 2 to 3 years is recommended.
