Achillea, also known as Common Yarrow, Achillea Millefolium, or Milfoil, is a perennial landscape plant native to Europe. Named after Greek mythology’s Achilles, he used it to treat battlefield wounds. While its medicinal use is minimal, this cultivated Achillea variety offers many benefits to your customer. Achillea Desert Eve Yellow has an upright habit of 14-18 inches tall and is commonly used in cottage gardens, sunny borders, and cut flower gardens. This smaller Yarrow variety is well-suited for containers and has a shorter crop time than other varieties, allowing you to make it available in early spring. It is hardy in zones 5-9 and blooms June-September. Achillea Desert Eve Yellow is an excellent companion plant, as it repels pests and attracts ladybugs and pollinators. It is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, long-blooming, and lovely for cutting.
Achillea Desert Eve Yellow Selling Tips
Sell Achillea Desert Eve Yellow to your customers looking for a low-maintenance addition to a border or a cheery, drought-tolerant flower for a mixed container. Desert Yellow Eve is a compact variety, excellent for containers or border fronts. Try pairing it with Gaillardia, Black-eyed Susan, Coneflower, Argyranthemum Angelic Ruby, and Leucanthemum Lucille Grace for a cottage garden look. In full sun, Achillea requires little more than regular rainwater to thrive. Lovely 2.5-inch yellow flower clusters attract bees, butterflies, and ladybugs, making it a superior plant for the cut flower or butterfly garden. The seedheads make delicious food for overwintering birds.
Coach your customer:
Plant 4-inch pots 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
Do not overwater. Water regularly after transplanting to establish healthy roots and then water occasionally, allowing the soil to dry between watering.
Use as a companion plant to attract pollinators to a cut flower or vegetable garden.
Use gloves when handling Achillea, as some people have a mild allergy to its foliage and sap.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
To achieve the best results with Achillea Desert Eve Yellow, use well-drained soil in full sun with light feed (150 ppm N) and a pH of 5.8-6.6.

In containers or landscape applications, it requires little more than full sun and rainwater to thrive.

1. Water plants at the base in the morning and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We've had success with using horizontal airflow fans. Space containers to allow airflow and for sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.
Planting Achillea Desert Eve Yellow Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or 2-3 plugs per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of 4-inch containers or equally spaced in 10-inch containers.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
