Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra

This herbaceous perennial grows up to 90cm tall and has very delicate blue cornflower-like flowers that grow continuously from early to late summer. The flowers grow on a long thin stem with neat grass-like leaves. For a better display, we recommend planting a minimum of three plants close together to make up for the sparse foliage.

The flat flower heads of Achilleas are great for insects to land on and attract many pollinators, especially hoverflies. This variety is best grown in full sun and well-draining soil and looks great in the middle of a garden border. Division every three to five years will rejuvinate the plant.

Clump-forming herbaceous perennial with pea-like white and lilac flowers that appear from mid summer. The plant tolerates poor soil and partial shade, but will grow more vigorously in full sun.
