Site Selection
Sunlight: Achillea millefolium ‘Schneetaler’ thrives in full sun, which encourages vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
Soil: Well-drained soil is essential for this plant. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, good drainage will ensure optimal growth and prevent root rot.
Planting Instructions
Preparing the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball of Achillea millefolium ‘Schneetaler’. This will give the roots enough space to spread.
Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost or organic matter into the soil to improve drainage and provide nutrients.
Planting: Place the root ball in the hole, ensuring the top is level with the soil surface. Fill the hole with soil, firming it down gently around the plant.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help the soil settle around the roots.
Watering
Growing Season: Achillea millefolium ‘Schneetaler’ is drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly, only during prolonged dry periods.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering as the plant enters dormancy, keeping the soil slightly moist but not saturated.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support fresh growth.
Mid-Summer: A second light feeding after the first flush of blooms will encourage continued flowering through the season.
Pruning
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the bloom period and maintain a neat appearance.
Autumn: Cut back the plant to ground level after the final blooms to prepare it for winter dormancy.
Mulching
Spring: Add a layer of mulch around Achillea millefolium ‘Schneetaler’ in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Winter: A winter mulch helps protect the roots and stabilise soil temperatures during colder months.
Supporting the Plant
Although Achillea millefolium ‘Schneetaler’ has sturdy stems, it may benefit from staking in particularly exposed or windy areas to prevent flopping.
