Description
Achillea 'Sunbeam'
Height x Spread: 50cm x 50cm
Masses of bright yellow florets form dense, slightly flattish flowerheads, which act as landing pads for pollinating insects, over its slightly fuzzy and finely cut mid green leaves. A good choice for a dried cut flower.
This striking, yellow Achillea is great for injecting some oomph into your border, without being overpowering. It looks great combined with strong blues, pinks and purples, as well as dark ornamental grasses. 'Sunbeam' will continue to flower all summer long, if planted in a sunny position in reasonable soil.
