Achillea Alba (Achillea millefolium)

Achilleas are one of the most versatile and easy to care perennials you can grow. They are cherished for their colorful, flat-topped blooms as well as their lacy, silvery, gray-green foliage.

Achilleas are in vogue again thanks in part to the many different colours and cultivars that have become available in recent years. Achillea was named by Linnaeus the modern father of horticulture in honour of the Greek hero Achilles.

Achillea, also called Yarrow, are among the hardiest of perennials. Originating in Asia and Europe, Achillea are a common wildflower, that has become very popular in home gardens. Most common, are the bright, yellow flowers.

Achillea millefolium "Lavender Deb" grows one to two feet high in full flower. The blooms are a pastel pinkish purple.

The Achillea genus was named by Linnaeus in 1753 when he also named this species "Achillea millefolium" from specimens collected in Europe.
