PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant when the soil is warm enough to encourage root development.
Autumn: Early autumn is also ideal to allow the plant to establish before its next growth cycle.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Achillea millefolium ‘New Vintage White’ thrives in full sun, but it can also tolerate partial shade. Full sunlight ensures optimal flowering and healthy growth.
Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Achillea can tolerate different soil types but prefers soil that prevents water-logging.
Planting Instructions
Preparing the Soil: Loosen the soil in the planting area and add organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and nutrient levels.
Digging the Hole: Create a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the plant’s root system.
Planting: Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Gently backfill and press the soil around the plant.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help the soil settle around the roots.
Watering Needs
Growing Season: Once established, Achillea is drought-tolerant. Water moderately, especially during dry periods.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering in the dormant season but ensure the soil doesn’t become too dry.
Feeding
Spring: A balanced fertiliser in early spring helps encourage healthy growth.
Mid-Summer: Apply a second light feed after the first round of blooming to stimulate more flowers.
Pruning and Maintenance
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the flowering season and maintain a tidy appearance.
End of Season: Cut back Achillea millefolium ‘New Vintage White’ in autumn after flowering has finished.
Mulching
Apply a layer of mulch around the base in spring to help conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Mulching also provides winter protection for the roots.
Supporting the Plant
While this variety has sturdy stems, you can stake the plant if you’re planting in a windy spot to prevent stems from bending.
Final Care Tips
Achillea millefolium ‘New Vintage White’ is low-maintenance and ideal for adding delicate beauty to any garden. With proper care, it will reward you with lovely blooms throughout the summer and attract beneficial pollinators to your space.

The plants were well packed and very healthy specimens, with well developed root systems and vigorous top growths.
I planted them immediately and they’re already pulling away. The bloke I spoke to over the phone was great too.
