Achillea millefolium | Butterscotch plant what is itAchillea, also known as Yarrow is very drought tolerant once established, so are an excellent choice of plant for what is now becoming a very different growing environment with hotter drier temperatures. Achillea flowers freely all summer producing flat corymbs 7 10cm across, and in our mild climate, we have them flowering into early winter. Butterscotch features pretty peachy, butterscotch toned clusters of flowers, that stand on tall erect stems
