First test order at Promesse de fleurs. Vine-plants that have not been cared for and are stunted... disappointment. Overpriced / poor quality. I should mention that I have a agricultural BTS, florist CAP and 15 years of gardening experience...

Description
The Achillea millefolium 'Hella Glashoff', also known as Achillea lanulosa 'Hella Glashoff', is a perennial hybrid plant that spreads by stolons (creeping stems that form new plants). It has a bushy habit. Vigorous and very floriferous, the Achillea blooms between June and July. It has a beautiful inflorescence of lemon yellow colour that fades as the flowering progresses. This change in colour gives the plant a unique effect. The flowers are gathered in large umbels that take the form of a flat corymb. These umbels are held on hairy stems. The flowers give rise to fruits called achenes.
The semi-evergreen grey-green foliage provides a beautiful contrast with the yellow flowers. It is light foliage, cut into strips and quite dense. At maturity, the plant reaches a height of 70 cm (28in). It thrives in rock gardens and is commonly found in border plantings. Its flowers also make beautiful fresh or dried bouquets.
Achillea 'Hella Glashoff' is a melliferous plant, meaning it contains substances collected by pollinating insects or some birds that transform into honey. It also attracts butterflies. It pairs well with Hemerocallis, Kniphofias, Nepetas, and Scabiosas. It was bred by Ernst Pagels. The healing power of this yarrow was allegedly discovered by Achilles during the Trojan War to heal a wound following Venus' advice. The plant is hemostatic (stops bleeding), has healing leaves, and flowers that have a febrifugal effect (combat fever).

Planting and care
Place the Achillea 'Hella Glashoff' mainly in the sun in a light, neutral to limestone soil, even rocky and very well-drained. It has good drought resistance and is very hardy. Easy to grow, it does not require any particular maintenance. Simply remove the faded flower stems to promote a second flowering and water regularly. You can prune from time to time to maintain a compact habit. In summer, make sure the soil does not dry out too much. Powdery mildew is common for Achillea. Beware of aphid attacks.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
