Description
The 'Wesersandstein' yarrow is a vigorous perennial, well-branched and with the particularity of having a very long summer flowering period with evolving colours. Its numerous flat umbels open in salmon pink and finish in coppery sand, carried by long sturdy stems above a tuft of beautiful channelled, feathery, aromatic, dark green leaves. Like most yarrows, it is exceptionally heat resistant and remains impeccable in all conditions. Exuberant and undemanding, this favorite of cottage gardens brings a nostalgic charm to unpretentious flower beds. It is a perennial plant for borders, hardy and easy to grow in all regions.
The yarrow is a stoloniferous perennial plant native to Europe and Asia Minor that belongs to the asteraceae family. 'Wesersandstein' develops a tuft of feathery, matte leaves starting from spring, reaching a height of 80 cm (32in) when in bloom. It spreads over 60 cm (24in). The stem is channelled and villous, and the foliage, aromatic, is finely cut into strips. The inflorescence is a slightly convex flat corymb, composed of numerous small heads. By regularly removing faded inflorescences, the very perpetual flowering lasts from June to October. The yarrow prefers full sun and dry to moist, well-drained soils. It remarkably tolerates limestone soils, dry soils in summer, and can also tolerate partial shade.
As a perennial, hardy and undemanding plant, the 'Wesersandstein' yarrow integrates well into a dry meadow scene in combination with pennisetums, blue asters, lavender, and salmon pink echinaceas. Easy to grow and tolerant to drought, consider using it to dress the base of bushes or to border a sunny flower bed. In a warm-coloured flower bed, consider associating it with airy grasses and upright perennials such as kniphofias, Buenos Aires verbenas, rusty foxgloves, and phygelius 'African Queen' that will enhance the horizontality of its umbels.
The plant has recognised medicinal properties: it is hemostatic, the leaves have healing properties, and the flowers have a stimulating, tonic, and febrifuge action.

Planting and care
Plant the Achillea 'Wesersandstein' in any type of soil, even limestone, dry or moist but well-drained. It even adapts to clay soils, if they are healthy and well amended. It will grow in partial shade but prefers full sun. In a cool climate, planting can be done all year round. In regions with hot and dry summers, it is preferable to plant in September-October so that the plant can establish its roots well during autumn and winter to withstand the following summer. It is preferable to cut back all vegetation at the end of the season to promote the growth of young shoots in 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.
