It is a grey-leaved plant that produces cream-coloured flowers between June and July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES OF ACHILLEA CRITHMIFOLIA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all grey-leaved plants, Achillea crithmifolia is highly resistant to low temperatures. As an \u003cstrong\u003eevergreen groundcover\u003c\/strong\u003e, it will keep your garden looking attractive even in very cold weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother common feature of all grey-leaved plants (and therefore Achillea crithmifolia) is that they do not tolerate waterlogging. Choose well-drained soil where it can enjoy at least half a day of full sun, and you will be rewarded with an elegant, densely textured silvery carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you plan to plant Achillea crithmifolia under a tree, make sure it is tall enough to allow the Achillea sufficient light: low trees tend to cast dense shade in which moisture evaporates slowly, which is not ideal for Achillea crithmifolia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchillea crithmifolia can easily be combined with other groundcovers. It can provide a contrasting backdrop to the showy flowers of Lippia nodiflora and\/or Verbena hybrida, or create a highly cold-resistant carpet when mixed with Frankenia laevis. Remember that a varied groundcover tends to be more resistant and adaptable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE OF ACHILLEA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with most lawn alternatives, the best time to plant Achillea crithmifolia is in early autumn. This allows you to make the most of the moisture provided by the approaching rainy season, although planting in spring is also suitable for the even growth of the young plants. If you plant the groundcover in spring, you will 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 Achillea crithmifolia groundcover will form a uniform cover within 8–12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the establishment phase, the groundcover will need to be watered infrequently but thoroughly. The \u003cstrong\u003ewatering frequency for Achillea crithmifolia\u003c\/strong\u003e during this initial phase should be assessed individually, ensuring that the soil is completely dry at a depth of 8–10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the groundcover has been established for one year, watering can be limited to once (or at most twice) a year. As for the \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance of Achillea crithmifolia\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend mowing 2 to 6 times a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eACHILLEA CRITHMIFOLIA SALES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchillea crithmifolia is sold in trays of 60 cells.
