Product description
A compact plant with good upright growth and intense flower colours and long blooming periods. The Achillea 'Walther Funcke', also known as Yarrow plant, is a versatile herbaceous perennial shrub with small, divided leaves giving a fern-like feathery appearance. Around mid-Summer, short, branching stems appear above the foliage carrying sprays of small, flat flowerheads of deep red-orange hues which turn to a paler cream shade as the months progress towards the Autumn.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent blooms throughout the summer to promote further flowering.
How to Water
Water plants regularly and thoroughly, particularly during dry spells, to help protect against powdery mildew.
How to Plant
Achilleas thrive in full sun or partial shade and are tolerant of most soil types, providing the area is kept moist but well-drained. In spring, when the risk of frost has passed, dig a hole that is twice the width and depth of the root ball and add in some grit to help with drainage. Position the plant in the hole and backfill with soil, firming down gently to prevent air pockets, then water the soil thoroughly.
