Description
Achillea millefolium 'Summer Pastels' F2 is a wonderful hybrid yarrow that truly captures the warmth of summer in its soft-coloured bouquets. This vigorous perennial forms tall clumps of light, very feathery and aromatic grey-green leaves topped with small, flat flowerheads. Its long-lasting blooms liven up the garden all summer-long, staying around until autumn to greet the starry blue asters. Naturally undemanding and generous, it brings an old-fashioned charm to herbaceous borders and cottage gardens.
Achillea millefolium or Yarrow belongs to the large Asteraceae family. It is a rhizomatous perennial native to Europe and Asia Minor where it is commonly found growing in meadows and along roadsides. 'Summer Pastels' grows to 75 cm tall and over 30 cm wide. From June to October, the long, ridged, woolly stems are topped with flat, slightly rounded flower clusters (corymbs) that measure about 7 cm in diameter. Each tiny flowerhead is made up of yellow, tubular central disc florets and outer ray florets in various shades of yellow, pink, cream, ivory, orange, lilac etc. The flower clusters produce achene-like fruits called cypselae. The soft and feathery, silvery green bipinnate leaves are deciduous to semi-evergreen. They are intensely aromatic, even when dried.
'Summer Pastels' F2 is an easy to grow, drought-tolerant plant that is perfect for rock gardens, growing along a retaining wall, in a herbaceous border or up a steep bank to help counter erosion. It makes an attractive, remarkably tough ground cover that is useful under trees or in large areas of the garden where little else grows! If foot traffic is light, it can also be sown instead of grass for a low-maintenance lawn.

Planting and care
Sow from February to June or September to October in sowing mix and cover with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Make sure to give the seeds enough light to germinate. To speed up the process, place in a propagator or place the seed tray inside a polyethylene bag until germination (1-3 weeks at a temperature of 15-24°C).
When the plants are strong enough to handle, transplant them into pots and move them to a cooler place until they are ready to taken outdoors. When the young plants are well established and all risk of frost is over, harden them off for 10 to 15 days then plant them out in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Make sure to leave about 60 cm between each plant. It is also possible to sow your yarrow seeds as early as September in a cold frame. They can then be transplanted outdoors the following spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
