Achillea millefolium ‘Pink Grapefruit’ is a stunning, compact, and bushy, herbaceous perennial. It has green ferny, divided leaves which are pleasantly aromatic. Unlike other achilleas, it produces clusters of long-lasting flowers, which start off as a bright pink/deep rose in early summer. As the flower ages, flowers subsequently turn to a pale creamy pink. The flower colour makes it very attractive to butterflies!
This is one of the best varieties in its series for growing in containers. ‘Pink Grapefruit’ is suitable for herbaceous beds and borders, as its vibrant colours will brighten up anywhere in need of a splash of colour. It is also very suitable for meadows, cottage gardens, and as a cut flower. It can reach a maximum mature height of 60 cm and spread of 60 cm. Licensed Plant Breeders Rights(PBR) reserved.
Suggested care: Achillea ‘Pink Grapefruit’ is suitable for well-drained soils positioned in full sun and an open position. It is undoubtedly an easy plant to care for as it is drought, heat, and humidity tolerant! Deadheading faded blooms should encourage more buds to form over a long season.
Planting Instructions: Break up the soil well before planting and dig a hole twice the size of the pot. Remove plant from the pot by tapping the rim of the pot in ‘up side down’ position. Do not pull the plant from the pot. Firm soil after planting and water regularly for the first month.
