Achillea
« on: July 30, 2013, 06:50:34 »
Just the plant to fill in the gaps in your border. This has been flowering for 2 months now. So easy to grow from seed.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

One of those plants that were recommended  for gardens a couple of years ago when we had drought conditions.  Also pretty good stuff for treating the old farmer Giles. Bung a handfull in your undercrackers. :sunny:

The photo looks like achillea pastel shades. If it is just beware it does tend to seed all over the place and it does not retain the colour as the old yellow one does.
