Achillea 'Safran' 2L
Achillea 'Safran', commonly known as saffron yarrow, is a popular herbaceous perennial that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to Europe and Asia but has become naturalized in many parts of North America as well. The plant grows up to 2-3 feet in height, and features fern-like, aromatic, and feathery foliage that is gray-green in color. The flowerheads are flat-topped, composed of many small flowers, and are a unique shade of orange-yellow with a hint of pink. The flowering period usually lasts from early to mid-summer, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.
Why we like it:
- Achillea 'Safran' is a hardy and low-maintenance plant that is easy to grow in a variety of soil types and conditions.
- It has a long flowering period, making it a great addition to mixed borders, cottage gardens, and wildflower meadows.
- Its unique flower color adds interest and vibrancy to any garden space.
What to know:
- Saffron yarrow prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade.
- It thrives in well-drained soil and does not require excessive watering.
- Deadheading the spent flowers can prolong the flowering period and prevent self-seeding.
- The plant can be divided every 3-4 years to maintain its vigor and size.
- Saffron yarrow can be susceptible to mildew, so good air circulation and proper spacing can help prevent this issue.
Height and Spread:
- When fully grown, Achillea 'Safran' typically reaches a height of 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) with a spread of 1-2 feet (30-60 cm).
