yarrow £7.99
Position: full sunSoil: well-drained, including dryRate of Growth: averageFlowering period: August to OctoberHardiness: fully hardyFlowering later than many other yarrows, this one has the same attractive grey-green foliage, from which upright stems emerge bearing flattened heads of pale yellow flowers, which turn to milky white as they mature. After they have faded, the developing seedheads create an attractive silhouette, which remaims intersting well into winter if you dont cut it back. A good mixer with other late perennials such as Asters, it also works really well with ornamental grasses.Garden care: Stake using bamboo canes or brushwood before the flowers appear. Cut down to the ground in late winter, but resist the urge to do this earlier, as the seed heads look lovely in the winter light.Lift and divide large clumps in late autumn or early spring.

It looks fabulous planted in drifts in a well-drained, sunny border, or studded through a colour-themed scheme.Garden care: Bearded irises prefer full sun and neutral-alkaline soil but if you have acidic or peaty soils you can top dress with lime before planting for good results. Plant shallowly with the upper part of the rhizome sitting on the surface of the soil, incorporating a low nitrogen fertiliser in the planting hole. After planting remove the upper-most third of the leaves to protect against wind-rock. In exposed areas stake with bamboo canes in early spring. Divide and replant about every three years.
