Achillea millefolium 'Summer Pastels' mix

#achillea #yarrow #achillea-summer-pastels

Do you have this in a pot? Mine is in the ground & OMG it's spread everywhere! 😧

@jeatacake it’s in a pot and I’d give anything for it to spread 🤣 I’d say you’re lucky but I have a feeling you’d disagree 🤭

I definitely disagree! I think you would get fed up with it too eventually. It's spread everywhere. All mixed up with every plant anywhere near it. I'm forever pulling it up 🫤

Sadly mine hasn’t done very well this year in its pot

💖💖💖 #achillea #yarrow #achillea-summer-pastels

Very pretty. Mine was tagged as summer pastels too. It is more of a light purple. 🌸

I'm guessing you have this in a pot? I have one in the ground & over about 3 years, it's spread everywhere. I never knew they were so invasive! 😲

@hkyfvr this variety does have some gorgeous colours. I’d much prefer your light purple one 💜

@jeatacake yep, in a pot and never does very well really. I didn’t realise they were that invasive 😮 the way they grow I reckon you might be pulling them up for a while to come 🙈

I like your pink. Mine took over my garden so I yanked most of it out. It was always lying on its side. Some will come back next summer. I just got fed up with it. 🤦‍♀️

@hkyfvr I didn’t know it was such a generous plant until I read what Jeff said 🤣 in a pot it barely grows 🙈 at least you’ll never be without it, despite pulling it out 😂

Love how you call it generous 😆 Maybe I will put mine in a pot too. 🤔

You're right there! 😏 I've given .any chunks of it away & chucked plenty of it in the compost too, but it's still trying to take over the whole border! 😠

@hkyfvr was the only nice way I could describe an annoying plant 🤭 if you do I recommend keeping it well watered. That seems to have made all the difference to mine this year. I always thought they preferred to be neglected but appears not 😜

@jeatacake some plants are just too happy to be in your garden 😉😛

Thanks for the tip. I thought they could be neglected too. 🤷‍♀️

Same plant 💖💛 #achillea #yarrow #achillea-summer-pastels

I bet that looks gorgeous 💗💛

So very pretty. Mine are fading fast. Love the colours together. 💛💗💛

@gjones they’re wonderful plants, just don’t do so well for me sadly. The odd few flowers is all. Great that you’ll have late season colour from yours 😁

@pelly a few individual flower heads is all I get, but they’re too pretty to give up trying with 😛

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😛 they look good as they fade, don’t you think?

They sure do. I like how the yellow centres on the pink flowers are the colour they become. Mine were mauve and now more pink. Some have been deadheaded. 👍😊 💖💛

@hkyfvr I’d not noticed that 🙈😜 mauve sounds lovely. Not a colour I’ve seen from an Achillea before 🤔

I looked at my photos and it is definitely pink with touches of light purple in it. I seem to see purple in blues also. Sometimes my camera does not pick up the colour I see. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

@hkyfvr me too! Lots of blue shades lean purple for me 🤯 think phones quite often struggle with certain colours, red tones especially

I always find some pinks and reds are hard to tell apart. Sometimes I put a red and pink heart on the comments. Our eyes are the best cameras. ❤️💖😊👍

@hkyfvr you and me both 😂 least we are in good company 😉

Love the colour 😍

@racha @hkyfvr thank you both ☺️

Very welcome 😍

#achillea #yarrow #achillea-summer-pastels

Beautiful 😍

@gjones thank you Katy 😀 Sherri said the same on Instagram 🧡 I’d not noticed 😂

@Dragon_Warrior thank you 😃

It's a lovely one, unusual bi-colour 💕💕💛💛

💗💛💗💛💗

@midnightgardener thanks Chris 😄 it goes through so many colour changes. Love it 😍

@jeatacake like a Fruit Salad sweet 😋

Oh yes! I can just about remember them from my childhood 😁

@jeatacake 😂 same!

#achillea #yarrow #achillea-summer-pastels

Love the color combo! 💖💛💖💛 Beautiful

@suzieshadow1227gmailcom thanks Suzie ☺️

@cyndi thank you Cyndi 😁

@gjones thanks Katy 😄

Love the colors! Looks very tropical!💘😍

Lovely colours!

😍😍😍

@ShelleySnyder they do! 😋 nice how they change as they open 😁

@rbetts25 thank you Richard 😊

@ublaszko though you might like the tutti frutti achillea 😛

This one is not very pastely 😁😁 I like all achilleas, even the cloth of gold one 😆

So many hot colours on that one 😍

@ublaszko that’s what this one ends up like, just golden flowers. Only seems to be pink/orange at the start

@alan1111 it’s a nice one that changes colours a lot as it progresses 😋

Do you have only one plant of this variety? It looks like a nice mix of colours in the summer pastels mix 😍😍 Very similar to Colorado 👍

@ublaszko I do only have one but the colours you can get are so nice I need more 😂 think your Colorado mix is the best I’ve seen 😍

Nice colour...I’m gonna buy all the colours next year...🤣🤣

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom you just got 2 more 🤣 addictive though, they’re too pretty 😍

I know I’ve got one from last year not quite out yet...but they are addictive 🤭😉

I like it 👍 I've got these, most red ones, certainly none this colour. They don't half spread though!

Not mine Jeff! They double the size each year (possibly even more). I have three plants out of one tiny seedling I was sent 3 years ago. 😰 I already gave away 2 plants too. I have a variety of achillea millefolium 'Colorado'. 😆

I have a variety called 'Colorado' and it had different colours on one plant. So far I have red, salmon and I think yellow with red or pink edging (waiting for full bloom). Achillea is my favourite plant and I'm glad it's becoming appreciated 😍😍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @kez001uk @jeatacake

@jeatacake love the red ones. Look like huge berry clusters 😍 wouldn’t mind this spreading though 😋

@ublaszko loved yours last year. The variety of colours was great! Can see why w them so much 😍

They'd fill the whole border if I wasn't forever pulling bits up. 😁

@ublaszko I like the sound of that..be sure and let us see it..👍🏼 I have a pink one from last year just coming out...

@jeatacake you have enough plants trying to do that as it is!

I know, tell me about it. Even the weeds are struggling to get a look in now, which isn't any bad thing I suppose! 😄

Oooh, I love this one! 😍😍 Very similar to the one I have but I think it doesn't change colours like 'Colorado'.

@ublaszko it’s hopefully one that will go nicely with the pink I have already. Problem with buying lucky dip plants is never know exactly what you’ll get 🙈

I never buy lucky dip plants for that reason. 😁😁 I'm too OCD for random colours 😅

@ublaszko I quite like not knowing exactly what they’ll be. Plus it makes me try plants I’d usually ignore 😂

Risk-taker! 😲😲😂

@ublaszko 😂 it’s literally the only area in life that I am 🤣
