Plant description
The upright stems of this decorative yarrow are clothed with finely cut foliage, and in summer they are topped with flattened clusters of small flower-heads, which fade from yellow to cream as they age.
Its nectar/pollen rich flowers are perfect for attracting bees, beneficial insects, birds and other pollinators.
Wonderful in full sun, Achillea 'Credo' will look right at home in a sunny spot with moist but well-drained soil.

How to care for Achillea Credo:
Achillea prefer well-drained soil and can suffer during very wet winters. To protect plants that are susceptible to rot in wet winter conditions, ensure they are planted in well-draining soil and consider adding grit or sand to the surrounding planting area to improve drainage. Raise beds or plant in containers if necessary, and avoid spots where water collects. If wet conditions are unavoidable, consider using a cloche or cold frame to shield the plants from excessive moisture.
In exposed positions, stake using bamboo canes or brushwood before the flowers appear.
Cut down to the ground in late winter, but resist the urge to do this earlier, as the seed heads offer a food source for birds and are attractive in low winter light.
Lift and divide large clumps in late autumn or early spring.

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
