Achillea millefolium ‘Pretty Belinda’

‘Pretty Belinda’ is a soft-coloured selection of common yarrow. Flat-topped flowerheads open a warm pink and fade through dusty rose to cream as they age, giving a graded colour effect with all stages on the plant at once. Fern-like grey-green aromatic foliage forms a low spreading mat.

Plants reach around 60 to 70cm in flower and spread steadily through rhizomes. Loved by bees, butterflies and hoverflies, drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.

Plant in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead spent flowers for a longer display. Divide clumps every two or three years to keep plants vigorous.

A firm favourite for a pollinator border, a cottage garden, a gravel bed, or a prairie-style planting.
