Balkan Yarrow is a low-growing, compact, spreading and mat-forming Achillea, each plant forming a clump of dense, feathery green-silver leaves and golden yellow flowers on 30-40 cm spikes throughout the summer. The leaves of Achillea Clypeolata are deeply lobed and have a silvery-green colour that adds to the ornamental value of the plant. It likes full sun and grows in dry, rocky habitats in the Balkans and Turkey. In our climate it does best in an amended garden soil that retains some moisture, it is not really suited to shallow clay soils or exposed to extremely dry summer conditions.
Achillea Clypeolata prefers well-drained soil and does not like to be over-watered, always make sure the soil is dry before watering. Although they are frost-tolerant, they may lose their leaves but will re-grow in the spring.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
