Zones: 2-9
Bloom Span: Three or more months, depending on the species
Growing Conditions: Nearly any type of soil will do, though it prefers soil that is dry and lean. In fact, the plant can become a bit floppy if the soil is too moist or rich.
Care: Deadhead spent blooms for repeat blooming. Cut back the plant to new growth after the second bloom in order to rejuvenate the plant. Divide every three years or so, as it has a tendency to die out in the center.
Best Species Choices: Coronation Gold (Achillea), Fire King (Achillea millefolium), and Summer Pastels (also Achillea millefolium).
