Achillea ‘Angel's Breath’

Common Name:
Yarrow 'Angel's Breath'

Description:
Achillea 'Angel's Breath' is a compact and finely textured cultivar of yarrow, admired for its soft, fern-like silvery-green foliage and delicate clusters of pure white flowers. This perennial is particularly suited to cottage-style, Mediterranean and water-wise gardens, offering a cloud-like, airy presence that pairs beautifully with bold or structured planting. Flowering prolifically through the warmer months, 'Angel's Breath' is a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it both ornamental and ecologically valuable. It thrives in Melbourne’s climate, performing best in full sun with free-draining soil, and shows impressive drought resistance once established. Ideal for adding softness and lightness to mixed borders, gravel gardens, or container arrangements, this variety also makes a charming cut flower. Regular deadheading encourages repeat blooming and maintains a tidy form. Low maintenance and heat-tolerant, 'Angel's Breath' is a standout choice for sustainable and visually calming garden designs.
