PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Plant Achillea millefolium ‘Sunny Seduction’ in either spring or autumn to give it ample time to establish before the growing season. This will ensure the plant has strong root development and is ready to produce its characteristic blooms.
Site Selection
- Sunlight: Achillea performs best in full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. For optimal flowering, choose a sunny spot in your garden.
- Soil: Well-drained soil is essential for the health of your Achillea. It adapts to various soil types but thrives in conditions that allow water to drain easily, avoiding root rot.
Planting Instructions
- Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of about 30cm, incorporating organic matter or compost to improve drainage and soil fertility.
- Dig the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, ensuring the depth matches the height of the root system.
- Planting: Place your ‘Sunny Seduction’ in the hole, with the top of the root ball level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil and gently firm around the base.
- Watering: Water the plant thoroughly to settle the soil and help the roots establish.
Watering
Once established, Achillea is drought-tolerant. Water sparingly during dry periods but ensure the plant receives enough moisture to support flower production. Reduce watering during the dormant season.
Feeding
Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring as new growth begins. A light feeding mid-summer after the first flush of blooms will encourage further flowering, keeping Achillea millefolium ‘Sunny Seduction’ looking vibrant throughout the season.
Pruning
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong the blooming period. Cut back the plant to ground level after the final flowering to prepare it for dormancy over winter.
Mulching
Add a layer of mulch around the base of the plant in spring to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. In winter, mulching also helps protect the roots from extreme conditions.
Supporting the Plant
Staking may be required in windy or exposed areas to keep the stems upright, ensuring Achillea millefolium ‘Sunny Seduction’ maintains its structured appearance.
With the right care, Achillea millefolium ‘Sunny Seduction’ will thrive and brighten your garden with its cheerful yellow blooms, bringing life and pollinators to your outdoor space.
