The Achillea is known for its medicinal properties and is named after Achilles, a figure from Greek mythology. He used the plant in war to heal wounds. In Dutch, we also know this plant as Duizendblad.
The many (thousand) leaves of the Achillea come in different colours, including yellow, red, pink and white. This makes the Achillea a flower suitable for many types of bouquets and arrangements. Moreover, this flower attracts bees and butterflies, making it a good addition to a biodiverse garden.
You can also find the Achillea in verges, on dike slopes or in grassland. A versatile flower, it is easy to maintain. The flower blooms from early summer to late autumn.
There are several techniques you can apply to the Achillea. Think of making arrangements, a bouquet, a mono-bouquet or drying.
The '365 days of flowers' campaign is an initiative of the promotion committee 365 days of flowers, part of Royal FloraHolland. Over 1,800 growers from 15 different countries make this possible. They grow over 150 different flowers, which are promoted throughout the year based on Royal FloraHolland's availability dates. The objective of the '365 days of flowers' campaign is to jointly develop sales opportunities for florists.
