Good plant #1 - Achillea Millefolium F2 'Summer Pastels'


Astionishingly good perennial plant and personal favourite.  It flowers profusely for a long time for yours and insect's enjoyment. The slugs and snails don't seem to like it that much. It seems to tolerate all sorts of soil conditions.  It is easily divided in late winter/ early spring.  You can either (a) shove your spade through the middle of it and dig half of it out and replant it, or (b) take a load of side shoots with roots on and plant these round the side of a pot full of well drained compost and grow on.
