Achillea Desert Eve Yellow Rooted Cutting Liner

To achieve the best results with Desert Eve Yellow, use well-drained soil in full sun with light feed (100-150 ppm N), temperatures of 55-62 degrees, and a pH of 5.8-6.6. Plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or 2-3 per 10-inch container. Powdery mildew and root rot can be a problem. Once established, Achillea is very low-maintenance. In containers or landscape applications, it requires little more than full sun and rainwater to thrive.

Large clusters of yellow flowers bloom from April to September.

Desert Eve Yellow doesn't require pinching.

Grow Achillea in 4-inch or 10-inch containers. Space 4-inch containers 6-8" apart and 10-inch containers 8-12" apart for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration.

This plant doesn't require chemical growth regulators.

Achillea isn't prone to pests. In landscape applications, it repels pests and attracts pollinators and ladybugs.

Desert Eve Yellow isn't prone to disease. Watch for powdery mildew and root rot. Take the following precautions to prevent disease caused by wet, humid conditions.

1. Water plants at the base in the morning and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We've had success with using horizontal airflow fans.

3. Space containers to allow airflow and for sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or 2-3 plugs per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of 4-inch containers or equally spaced in 10-inch containers.
