Achillea ptarmica
Pearl yarrow "Kaplja Rosy"
Perennial. Height 60 cm. Diameter 12 cm.
Bright, luxurious flowering is the main, but far from the only advantage of the new yarrow. Among the important advantages: the preservation of decorativeness throughout the season, unpretentiousness, the ability to grow rapidly, suitability for cutting and winter bouquets. Compact, upright shrubs with leafy stems, topped with large snow-white baskets of double inflorescences, are ideal companions for dark red, blue, or purple flowers with dark foliage, and will wonderfully decorate any corner of your garden.
Sowing: February-March (for seedlings), April-May - in open ground or before winter (to a depth of not more than 0.5 cm).

Seeds require preliminary stratification: sow the seeds, cover with glass and place in the refrigerator (temp. + 5 + 7 ° C). Crops are kept under such conditions for a month, then transferred to room conditions. At a temperature of + 16 + 18 ° C, shoots appear on the 10-14th day. In the phase of 1-2 true leaves, the seedlings swoop down on seedling beds. In the phase of 5-6 true leaves, the plants are planted in a permanent place at a distance of 20-25 cm. It is very important that the soil is always slightly moist until the moment of germination.
