About the Family
Achillea, commonly known as yarrow, is a versatile and resilient genus of herbaceous perennials valued for their long-lasting blooms, ferny foliage, and ability to thrive in tough conditions. Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, these plants have been cultivated for centuries, both ornamentally and medicinally. Their finely divided, aromatic leaves form attractive mounds at the base, while flat-topped clusters of tiny flowers rise above on sturdy stems from early summer through autumn. Flower colours range from soft whites, creams, and yellows to vibrant shades of pink, red, and orange, making them a flexible choice for many planting schemes.
Achilleas are excellent for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, and their flowers are equally valuable as long-lasting cut or dried stems. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and poor conditions once established, which makes them ideal for wildlife gardens, prairie-style plantings, or low-maintenance borders. Many cultivars are compact and colourful, perfect for edging or containers, while taller forms add structure and movement. Easy to grow, tough, and reliable, Achilleas bring colour, texture, and ecological value to gardens, blending effortlessly with ornamental grasses and perennials in naturalistic or traditional designs.
