In order to maintain its vigor, plants should be divided every 3-5 years. The tiny flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, while the seeds of yarrow appeal to many songbirds.

Healthy sturdy plants

The plants arrived in good condition and transplanted well. Over 1 1/2 months they increased in bushiness and sent up new flower shoots.

Beautiful achillea plant

I received a good sized plant and it looked very healthy when it arrived. I have planted in my front garden and it is in bloom now. The blooms are very delicate and beautiful. I am in love with the colour yellow.

Blooming

The plant arrived well packaged, and has already started to grow since I placed it in my garden. I am well pleased with the flower thus far, and can’t wait until it blooms fully.
