It is a grey-leaved plant that produces cream-coloured flowers between June and July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF ACHILLEA CRITHMIFOLIA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all grey-leaved plants, Achillea crithmifolia is very resistant to low temperatures. As a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eperennial evergreen groundcover\u003c\/strong\u003e, it will allow your garden to remain aesthetically pleasing even in rather severe weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother common characteristic of all grey-leaved plants (and therefore also Achillea crithmifolia) is that they do not tolerate waterlogging well. Choose well-drained soil for it, where it can enjoy at least half a day of full sun, and you will be rewarded with an elegant, densely textured silver carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you plan to position Achillea crithmifolia under a tree, make sure it is tall enough to leave the right amount of light for the Achillea: low trees tend to cover the lawn with dense shade in which moisture evaporates with difficulty, which is not ideal for Achillea crithmifolia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best time to plant the Verbena hybrida - Achillea crithmifolia mix is early autumn. This choice allows you to make the most of the water provided by the approaching rainy season, but spring planting is equally suitable for the harmonious growth of the plants. If you plant the lawn in spring, you will only need to allow for a few extra waterings during the first summer to support the plants as they establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following our recommended planting density (10 plants per square metre), the lawn will fill in evenly within 8\/12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the establishment phase, the lawn will need to be watered infrequently but with abundant amounts of water. The frequency of \u003cstrong\u003eirrigation\u003c\/strong\u003e during this initial phase should be assessed independently, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8\/10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the lawn has completed its first year, watering can be limited to once (at most twice) a year. As for \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMIX SALES \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal coverage, we recommend a density of \u003cstrong\u003e10 plants per square metre,\u003c\/strong\u003e so each tray is designed to cover different areas with this density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose the area you need from the various combinations offered.
