Yarrow

Among the companion perennials in the garden, yarrow 'Summer Pastels' offers a gentle and generous bloom, like a peaceful garden in the heart of summer. Its flat, airy umbels , borne on slender, sturdy stems , come in a range of pastel shades: creamy white, soft yellow, pale salmon, lilac, or pale red … A subtle palette that evolves with the days and the rays of the sun.

Hardy and undemanding, this reliable plant withstands drought, wind, and the harshness of poor soils. Once established, it requires little care, blends naturally into a quiet corner of the garden , along the edge of a flowerbed, or in a naturalistic border , and attracts dozens of butterflies and pollinators . Its finely cut, silvery-green foliage forms a soft, spreading base that remains decorative even when not in bloom.

Yarrow, or Achillea millefolium, is a perennial plant with finely cut leaves that give it an airy and delicate appearance, resembling floral lace. Its small white to pink flowers, clustered in umbels, bloom in summer, offering a display of lightness and grace. Highly valued for its medicinal properties, it combines wild beauty and practicality, finding its place both in garden borders and in traditional remedies. Its hardiness and ease of cultivation make it a valuable ally for gardeners seeking a natural and semi-wild space.

Achillea 'Noblessa' is distinguished by its dense, luminous white blooms borne on straight, well-structured stems. Its finely overlapping double flowers form elegant umbels that evoke a refined and contemporary version of traditional yarrow.

In the garden, Noblessa develops a vigorous and balanced habit, supported by finely cut, greyish-green foliage, characteristic of the Achillea genus. It integrates equally well into perennial borders, naturalistic gardens, and cut gardens, where its abundant and regular flowering is particularly sought after.

Resilient and undemanding, this yarrow tolerates heat, poor soils and drier periods well once established.

In the ecumene, Noblessa is perceived as a plant of stability and constancy, offering reliable flowering that structures the garden as much as it nourishes floral arrangements.
