Achillea 'Credo'
Height x Spread: 60cm x 60cm
The soft yellow flowers are held in gently domed clusters on tall stems above dark green foliage. Great for attracting bees and hoverflies too, it will stay upright into late autumn, extending its season of interest.
A definite 'must' for a cottage garden border, this taller Achillea also combines well with dark brown grasses for that prairie look. An excellent cut flower. Its optimum planting conditions are free draining but fertile soil, in full sun.
