Achillea Lewisii King Edward AGM

Description

Soft pastel cream flowers with grey feathery foliage.

This dwarf achillea packs a punch for the rock garden, containers and free draining areas.

Foliage is silvery and remains tight to the ground through winter making for neat fresh growth each spring.
