Achillea Mixed Seed

Achillea Mix (Achillea millefolium) is a stunning collection of vibrant, multi-coloured flower clusters that bloom in an array of shades, including soft pastels and bold, fiery hues.

 

This versatile mix includes both light and dark tones, offering a dynamic display of flat-topped umbels that create a bold contrast against the fern-like foliage. The plants, with their strong, upright stems, add texture and visual interest to garden borders, wildflower meadows, and mixed perennial beds.

 

Achillea Mix is not only a visual treat but also a favourite among pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects flock to its long-lasting flowers, making it an excellent choice for wildlife friendly gardens.

 

The blooms are also ideal for cutting, with their vibrant colours adding depth and variety to floral arrangements. This hardy perennial thrives in well drained, fertile soil and prefers full sun, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for gardeners of all skill levels.

 

Whether you’re planting in borders, creating a stunning focal point in your garden, or filling in gaps in a meadow, the Achillea Mix provides a striking combination of colours and textures. With its resilience and ability to bloom year after year, this variety will continue to thrive and enhance your outdoor spaces for seasons to come.

Sowing Instructions

 

Start seeds indoors from March to April. Fill seed trays or small pots with fine, well-draining compost, sowing seeds thinly on the surface and lightly covering with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Maintain a temperature of 18-21°C and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them into individual pots and harden off before

 

Direct sow from late April to May in a sunny, well drained location. Scatter seeds thinly over the soil and gently press them in. Water gently and thin seedlings as necessary to allow for proper growth and good air circulation.
