Description

Achillea ‘Lilac Beauty’ blooms in a surprisingly strong, deep pink before fading to the soft and smoky lilac shown in our picture. The whole achillea family are taking the floristry world by storm. They are loved for their open, airy plateaux, more substantial than umbellifers, but serving a similar role in the garden and vase.

Care Tips

Cut back after first flowering to encourage a second flush in late summer. Divide plants every 3 years to rejuvenate.
