Achillea ptarmica is an elegant perennial with white flowers that is particularly suitable for landscaping around the garden pond. It brings lightness to the edge, where a clear transition between water plants and garden beds is often required.
At a growth height of approx. 30 to 50 cm, the plant remains pleasantly compact and thus fits perfectly into the foreground to midground of the bank planting. By the pond, Achillea ptarmica is especially harmonious when planted in small groups: The white flowers create clear, friendly accents and can be very well combined with typical pond edge plants and ornamental grasses.
The flowering period from June to July is ideal for visibly enlivening the border zone in early summer – precisely when many pond plantings are taking shape and the garden is being used more again. For use at the garden pond, the indication 0 to –15 cm is a good reference: place the perennial in the bank or border zone, where the soil remains evenly moist.
Depending on the pond setup, this may mean standing directly at the edge in moist soil or being used in a planting basket in a very shallow area. It is important that the location does not dry out permanently so that the plant remains vital and develops stably.
Achillea ptarmica is supplied in a P9 pot (approx. 9–10 cm). Thanks to winter hardiness zone 1–2 it is suitable for many locations and is an appropriate choice for long-lasting, easy-care pond edge planting.
Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the utmost care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by postal shipping or other unforeseen events (e.g. brown leaves or broken shoots). We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes.
Zoo-Roco tip: Plant Achillea ptarmica in small groups (e.g. 3–5 plants), so that the white flowers in the bed appear calm and "flat". After flowering, light pruning often encourages neat new growth.
