Neutral Clary On Jul 12, 2010, Clary from Lewisburg, PA (Zone 6b) wrote:

Very aromatic with large flower heads that provide variety in form and color in the garden.

Starts easily from seed.

In rich soil and partial shade they became leggy and floppy.

I found this plant to be very invasive. Reseeds very freely. Had problems eradicating it with Roundup. Will never plant this culitvar again.

This is a wonderfull Achillea..very striking in a very sunny garden. It can withstand a lot of drought and helps neighbourplants to keep straight. Now it has matured, planted her in 2002, it has solid stalks that go up to 120 cm with a long bloomingtime. It also gives a nice wintersilhouette when you don't cut of the stalks. I like the aromatic scent of it when you touch the leaves...yep..this is surely summer!
AGM in 1999.
