Achillea ptarmica ‘Marshmallow’

Long-flowering dwarf Yarrow with double-white flowers in summer

Established plants in two-litre containers

Description

Achillea ptarmica ‘Marshmallow’ is a prolific and long-flowering dwarf garden Achillea (Yarrow) cultivar that is great for containers in sun or in rock or gravel gardens, and can also be used as a front of border plant. This cultivar has the typical ferny-like, strongly-textured foliage but grows into a dainty, compact clump no more than 30cm (12 inches) or so high. In summer the foliage is topped with balls of pure white, fluffy-looking double-flowers that give the plant a presence beyond its diminutive size. If dead-headed and grown in full sun we find the flowers can go for ages, certainly right through summer and into early autumn.
These established, garden-ready plants have been grown in peat-free compost at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in two-litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height of around 30cm (12 inches) with similar spread.

Growing Advice

Achilleas are dead easy to grow, and, unlike its taller cousins, this cultivar doesn’t even need staking. Grow it in full sun if you possibly can – it will thank you with plenty of flowers – and ensure it has good drainage but doesn’t fully dry out. It’s great in poor soils, so finds an easy home in rock gardens, on rocky slopes, or in containers. Keep it dead-headed to prolong the flowering and don’t be frightened to pinch out the foliage in spring to maximise the plant’s compact, neat habit.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
