Achilleas are traditional border flowers valued for their feathery foliage and striking flat, circular heads of flowers throughout the main summer season. They team well with other perennial flowers and are a vital ingredient in traditional herbaceous borders. They're also at home in island beds, cottage gardens and other perennial planting schemes.

Achillea millefolium 'Pretty Belinda' is a compact variety, well-suited to growing at the front of borders. The flowers are a rich pink and are produced in numerous flattened domes, that will prove a hit with pollinating insects. The feathery foliage is aromatic and it makes a pretty cut flower.

Grow Achillea 'Pretty Belinda' in full sun and well-drained soil. Find out more in our Achillea grow guide.
