Salmon Beauty Yarrow

Achillea millefolium 'Lachsschönheit'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Long-flowering, spreading, mat-forming perennial. White to salmon pink flowers continue blooming throughout the summer. Fern-like foliage is slighty aromatic. Spreads easily by roots and by seeds. Grows well in many soil types but avoid especially heavy soils.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
