'Summer Pastels' is an Achillea millefolium cultivar with pastel colored flowers that range from pink to yellow to pale mauve. This beautiful plant is easy to grow and tolerates a range of soil types from clay to sandy loam. It is drought tolerant, but require, on average, weekly watering after planting and during growth stages in the spring.

The cut flowers can be dried for boquets. Like wild varieties, Summer Pastels is a favorite amongst pollinators, including butterflies, flies, and bees. The plants are not bothered by deer and are disease resistant. 

The fern-like leaves make a great groundcover and the plant can be used as a replacement for lawn grass. Will even tolerate light foot traffic and mowing!
