Achillea millefolium Apfelblüte

Achillea millefolium 'Apfelblüte' is a magnificent perennial for sunny locations with umbel flowers in shades of pink.

This variety of yarrow has a bushy habit. This vigorous plant produces an abundance of flowers throughout summer. From June onwards, it produces beautiful clusters of flat flowers. In bloom until September-October, the faded inflorescences can be used to make stunning dried bouquets.

The light and finely cut foliage is semi-evergreen with a grey-green colour. It beautifully contrasts with the flowers. At maturity, the plant reaches a height of 60cm (24in). Achillea millefolium 'Apfelblüte' thrives in the sun, in poor and well-drained soil. Use it in rock gardens or at the front of sunny borders, combined with velvet yarrows or Barnsley mallows.
