Why You’ll Love It

Achillea ‘Ivory’ is a refined and elegant yarrow, valued for its soft ivory-white flower heads and airy, upright form. The flat, delicate blooms sit above finely textured foliage, creating a calm, light presence that brightens perennial borders and meadow-style plantings. Its subtle colouring makes it incredibly versatile, pairing beautifully with ornamental grasses, pastel perennials and deeper-toned flowering plants.

• Prefers well-drained soil; avoid heavy or waterlogged conditions

• Water during establishment, then sparingly once established

• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering

• Cut back stems in late summer or autumn to refresh growth
