Achillea millefolium 'Summer Berries' mix

😍😍😍

@ublaszko didn’t have this colour last year. Love it 😍

Lovely 😊

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😁 everything seems to be pink at the moment 😜

Just look at this beauty

@gjones they certainly suit their name 😋

@bks thank you BK 😁 they’re a great plant, love the soft fern-like foliage too 💕

@gjones you’re allergic to the leaves?? I’m sorry to hear that 🙁 You must love them to keep them in your garden 😍 and I completely understand why 😛

@columbiariver thanks Laura 😁 they’re beautiful plants aren’t they 😍 I hope yours starts to multiply, can imagine how good these look in a huge clump 😋

@kez001uk @columbiariver WHAT..!! 😲🤣🤣 🌸💞💗💝💘💖💕no I don’t like pink..🤥🤭

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 🤣😂🤣 I knew it was just faded red in your garden! 😉

#pink

😍 there isn't a 'yum' emoji either.

@lesliecole49 there needs to be! Some plants are yum-worthy 😋

They look really healthy 💕🌼

👍👍

@Keely they’re not doing bad for being grown from seed this year 😁

@ublaszko ☺️☺️☺️

Haha... In india we call our buddies "Yarrow"....👌👌👌👌. I love the foliage.

They are doing great never thought these would grow from seeds will have to look out for some seeds

@shaz831 I like that 😛 the foliage is really fern-like isn’t it 😊

@Keely they’re one of the better things I’ve managed to grow 😂 they’re quite impressive given the short time they’ve had to get this established 💗

They're doing so well you might need to separate your babies next spring. The one of the left is a bit of an overachiever 😉😉

@ublaszko they were only meant to be in there to grow on a big but they’ve gone a bit nuts 🤣 especially one 😅

They look as big as half of my mature plant! I divided one my achilleas and the new pieces look the same size as yours. I think your achillea really liked the heatwave this year. I'm so pleased for you 😊

@ublaszko they did get big fast! 😂 thanks to your helpful advice they’ve flourished, much appreciated ☺️

@ublaszko 💗

Lovely Colours

That looks fantastic! 💖💖💖 Hot pink 👍

Love that shade of #pink

Great photo...!!👌👌👌

@gauravsh6 thank you 😁

@ublaszko there looks like white and orange too but I didn’t think pink was meant to be in this seed mix at all 😂

@cyndi thanks Cyndi ☺️

@Sussanah thank you 😊

@gjones thank you Katy 🙂

@shaz831 thank you 😄

@ukjohnny thanks John, I didn’t know any parts of it were edible! 👍🏼

Flowers 😁

Yay! 🎉💕👍

@ublaszko I can’t wait to see it open 😁😁😁

It will be interesting to see what colour it actually turns out. Mine seem to be all pastely orange atm.

@ublaszko the little flowers are so lovely I won’t mind the colour but I kinda hope all 3 are different. Knowing my luck they’ll all be the same 🤣🤣🤣

I hope you get different colours. And bicolours. Bicolour ones are my favourite 😍😍 The one I have atm is a pastel orange but it has red/pink edges.

@ublaszko yours is so so pretty! I love all the different colours in it. If mine is half as nice I’ll be very happy 😍

@ublaszko they’re a long way behind yours!

I've had mine for 2 years though (planted in spring 2016) and the plug plants I planted looked the same size as the previous picture of your achillea. The right and middle ones are definitely big enough to produce flowering stems this year. 😊😊

@ublaszko of course, I forgot yours are 2 years old 🙈 glad to hear they could flower though 😁😁😁

I just checked pics on my laptop and I planted mine in the ground around mid-March and they started flowering sometime in July (so about 5 months later).

@ublaszko I’m probably a month behind that then so hopefully will get a flowering before the end of the season 🤞🏼 thank you for all of the help you give me urszula 😁

You're welcome! It's fun sharing info! 😀 Don't worry, their flowering season is very long. I had some still in flower at the end of October ☺

@ublaszko one day I hope to be able to do the same 😁 oh that’s great, til the frosts then hopefully 🤗

Yes, it still looks lovely as it fades although once the frost hits the foliage wilts and I tidy it up. Some people keep the seedheads over the winter but here it looks tatty as the wind breaks the stems.

@ublaszko I prefer to tidy them up once they wilt too. I do love their foliage though. Very fern-like

I love the foliage as much as the flowers 👍 I think this is my favourite plant in the garden and a sure sign the summer is here (even on years when there is no heatwave) 😊

@ublaszko they do look pretty special from what I’ve seen. And bees love them so even better 😛

And butterflies too. Great for nectar. Unfortunately, caterpillars love the stems and foliage but they only seem to have attacked mine in the 1st year so keep an eye once you start seeing upright stems.
