details: [ Achillea
] |
|
Common name: Bugbane. Large, woodland edge plants with palmate leaves and tall wands of often fragrant starry white or pink flowers. They are best if given some shade overhead (e.g. deciduous trees or a north facing fence), humus-rich soil and some summer moisture. If growing the bronze or purple leaved forms more sun is needed but the hot midday sun may scorch the leaves. Propagate by division in autumn or spring. Plants can be divided into large chunks or even down to individual eyes:- the new buds will be visible at or just below soil level. However they are fairly slow to bulk up so don't divide too often. Some types can be propagated by seed but this can take two years to germinate, so patience is needed! Like just about all members of the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family they are poisonous if eaten. |
