Achillea New Vintage White™

Achillea New Vintage White™ is a showy perennial offering summer interest, with the heaviest bloom in early summer. Adding a cooling, calming effect to the garden, abundant pure white flowers appear in dense, flat-topped clusters and have a moderate fragrance. Borne atop sturdy stems, the flowers make excellent cuts for fresh and dried arrangements and provide nectar and habitat for ladybugs and butterflies.

An Achillea millefolium, also known as common yarrow, Achillea New Vintage White™ is an herbaceous plant with a compact, upright, clumping habit and fast growth rate. Its ferny, medium green foliage has a strong, somewhat spicy aroma. The plant is mat-forming and spreads by rhizomes and self-seeding, naturalizing into substantial colonies, so site carefully. It was bred for container plantings and makes a lovely specimen but is shown to best effect when grouped or massed in mixed beds and borders.

Cold hardy, Achillea New Vintage White™ is also considered among the best perennials for planting in hot, dry, and sunny locations. This yarrow prefers full sun and lean to average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained sandy loams but tolerates poor soils. The plant is deer resistant and drought, heat, and humidity tolerant. It also tolerates air pollution, so it's a good option for urban areas. Deadheading spent flowers encourages additional blooms.
