Description
Achillea 'Apfelblute' (Galaxy Series)
Height x Spread: 50cm x 60cm
This Achillea produces a profusion of bright mid pink flowers that fade to pale pink, over mid green fern-like foliage.
Its delicious colour combination and reliability makes this Achillea very popular for traditional cottage garden and herbaceous borders alike. Bees and hover flies cannot resist it either. Its foliage remains tidy if it is cut back once the plant has flowered. Full sun and a free draining alkaline soil are best.
