ACHILLEA MILLEFOLIUM ‘LANSDORFERGLUT’
This is both vigorous and floriferous with us. Like many other achillea cultivars, the flowerheads change colour as they mature. Pale buds open to a vibrant shade of deep reddish-pink, then gradually fade to shades of peach and a dull cream. I love the multi-tone effect as new buds continue to open above the grey-green foliage. If deadheaded regularly, it will flower all summer. Eryngium planum ‘Blaukappe’ makes a terrific companion, as do Allium sphaerocephalon and Salvia nemorosa, all of which revel in the same light soil. AGM*.
