Description

The Achillea Millefolium 'Lilac Beauty' or Achillea lanulosa is a perennial herbaceous plant with a creeping habit forming an erect clump. Easy to grow, it offers a pretty and abundant flowering from July to September perched on channelled and villous stems. These flowers are grouped in flat corymbs measuring 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) in diameter. They are lilac pink in colour and fade with age. The flowering gives rise to fruits called achenes.

The semi-evergreen foliage of the Achillea Millefolium 'Lilac Beauty', also known as 'Lavender Beauty', is dark green, which contrasts with the inflorescence of this Achillea. It consists of leaves cut into strips and linear. They are feathery. Native to Europe and Asia, the St. John's Wort is a vigorous plant that is very hardy and very resistant. It can reach a height of 80 cm (32in) at maturity.

Its majestic foliage allows the plant to be an excellent ground cover. It is an ideal plant in coastal areas for a sunny rock garden as well as for flower meadows. Yarrow can also be grown as a border plant. Its cut flowers make lovely fresh or dried bouquets.

Planting and care

Place Achillea 'Lilac Beauty' mainly in full sun in a light, neutral to chalky soil, even rocky and very well-drained. It has good drought resistance and is very hardy. Easy to grow, it does not require any particular maintenance. Simply remove the faded flower stems to promote a second flowering and water regularly. You can prune from time to time to maintain a compact habit. In summer, make sure the soil does not dry out too much. Powdery mildew is common for Achillea. Beware of aphid attacks.
