Description
Achillea ptarmica, commonly known as Sneezewort, is a charming marginal pond plant that produces clusters of small, crisp white flowers held above slender green foliage, bringing a light and airy feel to pondside planting.
Flowering throughout summer, this upright perennial adds height and contrast, working beautifully alongside more colourful marginal plants. Its delicate blooms are highly attractive to pollinators, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Achillea ptarmica thrives in moist soil and can tolerate damp pond margins or bog garden conditions. It is best planted just out of standing water or in very shallow areas, where it will establish well and spread gradually to form natural-looking clumps.
