Clouds of flat, funky blooms lend colourful landing platforms to your garden from June to October – creating and ‘easy access’ feast for busy pollinators. Flowers have a magical, colour-changing habit and emerge as a zesty orange then fade through to terracotta as they mature. The light, ferny foliage has silver hues to accompany its rich green tones and forms mounds which create gap-filling interest commencing in March and lasting through to November time. The fabulous colours and fragrance of Achillea millefolium ‘Walther Funcke’ mean the stems make a wonderful inclusion in a vase or bouquet too.Achillea millefolium ‘Walther Funcke’ is a drought tolerant beauty, ideal for pots, rockeries and sunny borders, just remember to water until it has established a good root structure; particularly in hot, sunny weather. Prefers well-drained soil of any type except heavy clay. Plant in full sun for best results and avoid a north-facing aspect. A fully hardy, herbaceous perennial which reaches a height and spread of 60cm.
