Description
The 'Moonshine' Achillea is a perennial resulting from hybridization between the achene clypeolata and A. taygetea. It is a vigorous perennial plant forming a clump of light, green-grey leaves, above which pretty heads of bright yellow flowers bloom in summer. It is particularly recommended for dry and rocky soils.
It is a perennial plant and very hardy with a bushy habit, forming a shrub 40cm (16in) tall 60cm (24in) in flower. Its foliage is deciduous or semi-evergreen, depending on the region, finely cut into strips. The leaves are pinnatilobate, feathery and green-grey with silvery reflections.
The remarkably long flowering period extends from June to September. The flowers are actually heads, with bright yellow florets, very sunny. These tiny heads, which appear at the tops of the stems, form numerous compact heads with a flat or slightly rounded top, 7 to 8 cm (3in) in diameter. They give rise to fruits called achenes. The stem is channelled and villous.
Exuberant yet undemanding, this inhabitant of cottage gardens adds a quaint charm to unpretentious flower beds. It integrates well in a rockery, at the top of a wall, as an edging or on a slope where it helps stabilize and protect against erosion. This plant can be used as ground cover over large areas. It then allows you to avoid the mowing required for a lawn by replacing it in lightly trafficked areas. It tolerates competition from tree roots, making it also a good ground cover on the edge of woodland. As it is easy to grow and withstands drought well, it is perfect for dressing the base of shrub roses or for bordering a sunny flower bed.

Planting and care
The Achillea 'Moonshine' can be planted throughout the year in buckets, about 5 feet apart per square meter, in well-worked and well-drained soil. It will grow in any type of soil, even chalky, dry, or moist, but well-drained. It can even adapt to clayey soils, as long as they are permeable and well-drained. It will thrive in full sun. Cut off faded flowers and trim back all vegetation at the end of the season to promote the growth of young shoots in spring. Divide the clump in spring.

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.
